Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan
On Saturday, Varun Dhawan turned 34. Buddy Arjun Kapoor lined up a hilarious surprise for the birthday boy. Dhawan has a penchant for taking off his shirt at any given moment to flaunt his toned body. Kapoor posted a series of Dhawan's shirtless photos from his various films as Jungle jungle baat chali hai played in the background. He further referred to Dhawan as the shirtless wonder of Juhu.
The post left several B-Town folk in splits, including Kriti Sanon, Aparshakti Khurana, Ramesh Taurani, Sophie Choudry and Siddhanth Kapoor. We wonder what Dhawan's wife Natasha Dalal had to tell Kapoor about his unique gift for hubby dearest.
The actor is now gearing up for Raj Mehta's Jug Jugg Jeeyo, which also stars Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Kiara Advani. Mehta has a long way to go before he can heave a sigh of relief. The film's Chandigarh schedule was halted for two weeks last December after Varun Dhawan, Neetu Kapoor and Mehta had tested COVID-19 positive.
The director reveals that he had lined up the second schedule for April. "Almost 60 per cent of the film is pending. We were supposed to shoot this month, but are faced with a challenge again," says Mehta. The filmmaker has little option but to delay the Mumbai leg, and seek a fresh set of combination dates from the actors. "We had shot the first schedule right after the first wave of the pandemic. It was difficult, and we did have cases on the set. But at the end of the day, you have to take safety precautions and trust the team," he says, unable to give a clear picture of the road ahead.
