Actor Varun Dhawan<\/a> recently recalled one of his \u2018wackiest moments\u2019 on a film set. He revealed that there was a time when he began drinking as early as 7 am to get into character for a scene in Jug Jugg Jeeyo<\/a>. However, by the afternoon, he was slurring so much that he couldn\u2019t even manage to shoot it.<\/p>\n

\"Varun Varun Dhawan will next be seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Varun reflects<\/p>\n

During an interview with Pinkvilla<\/a>, Varun was asked about the \u2018wackiest moment\u2019 on a film set. The actor admitted it was when he was shooting a scene with Maniesh Paul<\/a> during Jug Jugg Jeeyo (2022). He revealed that for the climactic showdown with Anil Kapoor, where his character had to deliver a speech after getting drunk, he actually started drinking with Maniesh at 7:30 in the morning to slip into the role.<\/p>\n

Varun said, \u201cDuring that climax scene with Anil sir, when they are renewing their vows, I get drunk and I give a speech. So we were supposed to be drunk. We started at 7:30 am. So Maniesh and I started drinking in the morning, and by 2 pm, we were slurring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Varun said that he had to then sober up, but since they did not finish the scene, he had to do the same process the next day as well. \u201cAnd the next day, the shoot continued, so we had to drink again,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Varun\u2019s next film<\/p>\n

Varun Dhawan will next be seen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, a romantic comedy directed by Shashank Khaitan. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf and will be released on October 2. The film will narrate a story of Varun and Janhvi teaming up to make their exes, Sanya and Rohit, jealous. They will be seen going to their wedding functions, leading to drama, emotion, confusion and chaos.<\/p>\n

The film is clashing with Rishabh Shetty\u2019s Kantara: A Legend \u2013 Chapter 1. During the #Varunsays session on X, one of his fans asked him about the box office clash, writing, \u201cKantara se darr nhi lagra? (Are you scared of Kantara) #varunsays.\u201d<\/p>\n

To which, Varun responded, \u201cRelease date toh production wale set karte hain. Par hum buss apni film pe mehnant kar rahe hain aur logo ko Hassane ki koshish. (Release dates are set by the production team. But we’re just focusing on working hard on our film and trying to make people laugh.) I wish Oct 2nd everyone is laughing and smiling and celebrating.\u201d Varun was last seen in 2024\u2019s Baby John, which didn\u2019t perform well at the box office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Varun Dhawan recently recalled one of his \u2018wackiest moments\u2019 on a film set.
