Varun Dhawan to try and ‘claim some ownership’ over remix of a popular song from his father’s film starring Salman Khan

Varun Dhawan is on his way to US for The Dream Team concert with colleagues Parineeti Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Katrina Kaif and Karan Johar.

Before leaving, in between hectic rehearsals, he told us, “I am dancing to a medley of all my hit songs from Student Of The Year to Dishoom. I am also doing Salman Khan’s hit Judwaa number Tan Tana Tan Tan Tan Tara. Today’s generation may not remember my dad (David Dhawan)’s film Judwaa. But that song is popular to this day.”

So what made Varun decide to include that particular Salman song to add to his medley of hits? “Well, Tan Tana Tan is soon going to be my song. Because the sequel to Judwaa, which I am doing with my dad and Sajid (Nadiadwala) next year will feature a remix of the song. So, The Dream Team tour is a good platform to claim some ownership over the song, although it is and will always remain Salman Bhai’s song,” says Varun.

He adds, “We all have our solo acts, then we have our act together. It’s going to be one helluva fun tour. But also very exhausting.” The young superstar is looking forward to a direct and live interaction with his fans in America. “I’ve so far done 30-35 live shows in India and abroad, but never performed in the US. We are all looking forward to giving the audience and ourselves a great time in several cities of the US.”

A break after that? No such luck. “As soon as I return from the US, I go straight to Jhansi for my next schedule of Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya with Alia,” he concludes.
