Varun Dhawan, who is currently shooting in Bhopal with co-star Anushka Sharma for their next, is scheduled to return to the Bay for just a day on Friday to touch base with his younger fans. He will be a guest judge on the kids dance reality show, Super Dancer, with Shilpa Shetty, Anurag Basu and Geeta Kapur. The 30-year-old actor will showcase his acting chops in keeping with the theme of his upcoming release, the Shoojit Sircar directorial, October, besides flaunting his dancing skills.

A source close to the development reveals, “Varun will be shooting on Friday, a day before the show’s finale, and will unveil the winner’s trophy. He will perform on the October theme track, after which he will be joined by the show’s young contestants for a special act from the film’s first song, “Theher Ja”. Since a majority of the featured songs in the upcoming film are more romantic rather than fast-paced dance numbers in the trademark Varun style, the act will focus more on his acting chops than his happy feet.”

“The four participants — Vaishnavi, Ritik, Akash and Bishal — who have impressed week after week to make it to the final four, will perform on their favourite actor’s popular charbusters from his previous films. The finale episode airs live on Saturday and only Varun’s portions will be pre-recorded. The channel has some other fun gags lined up for their star guest.

Varun told Mirror, “The show is amazingly popular and a hit with the bachcha party. I’m coming back for one day for the grand finale and to set the mood for October.”
