When Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor are together, dance can’t be far behind. Two years after Street Dancer 3D (2020), the actors reunited for the shoot of a brand commercial yesterday. The ad, which was filmed at Chitrakoot Studios in Andheri, has been designed keeping the lead actors in mind and sees them put on their dancing shoes.

Reunion appeared to be the theme of the day for Dhawan, with the app’s commercial being helmed by his close friend and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) director Shashank Khaitan. 

After the success of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017), the actor-director jodi were to team up for Mr Lele. However, the project failed to materialise. While a feature film will happen when it’s meant to, Dhawan and Khaitan were glad to team up for the campaign.

A source from the unit reveals, “Having worked together, Shashank knows how to present Varun on screen. He knows that the two actors share crackling chemistry and are superb dancers. So, he wove a dance element into the ad. They began the shoot around noon, calling it a wrap by late evening.” 

Vanessa Walia (second from left in the picture), who previously produced John Abraham’s Romeo Akbar Walter (2019), is backing the commercial. She says, “Shashank directed them beautifully as he knows them personally, and has worked with Varun in the past.”
