Who would you bet on in a
Dilwala vs Bond villain face-off? Pick your side because it's coming up real soon. Actor Varun Dhawan, the
Dilwala in question, was challenged to a pull-up match by Dave Bautista, who plays the assassin Mr Hinx in new 007 film
SPECTRE.
He accepted today. "I'm no
darpok," he says in the video attached to this tweet, "bring it."
Woohoo. A gentle reminder, Varun, that Dave Bautista is a former mixed martial arts champ, WWE wrestler and all-round tough guy.
Dave, known to WWE fans as Batista, issued this challenge to Varun two days ago. "Are you a
darpok?," he asked.
Varun responded with this.
And now, challenge accepted.
SPECTRE, in which Dave's character Hinx is a Jaws-like thug employed by crime boss Blofeld, stars Daniel Craig as James Bond and opens in India this Friday. Varun's
Dilwale, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Kriti Sanon, is scheduled for December 18. (Also Read:
