Ever since snapshots of Varun Dhawan on the set of the Salman Khan-starrer Bharat did the rounds, there has been speculation that Dhawan is making a special appearance in the film. But sources now claim that he does not feature in the drama.

Varun Dhawan had dropped in to meet Sallu during the Abu Dhabi schedule as he, too, happened to be in the desert emirate around the same time. There were talks that Varun Dhawan plays a business tycoon, who has been modelled on late Dhirubhai Ambani. What added further credence to the rumours was when producer Atul Agnihotri shared a picture on social media of the superstar clicking Dhawan.
