Varun and Alia will resume publicity duties for Badrinath Ki Dulhania, which releases on March 10 and which they are promoting around the country. The film, directed by Shashank Khaitan, is a sequel to their 2014 film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and follows a similar binary of enthusiastic but gauche swain in pursuit of a reluctant love interest. Varun plays Badrinath, an unsophisticated young man who wants to marry Vaidehi, played by Alia, a feisty and confident young woman who is offended by his wedding proposal.

Varun Dhawan, star of films such as ABCD 2 and Badlapur, was last seen in the 2016 film Dishoom and is currently working on Judwaa 2, a sequel to the Nineties hit starring Salman Khan.
