Be an angel, Varun Dhawan was told while promoting his new film
Dishoom. Luckily, inspiration was at hand. The 29-year-old actor will appear on
The Kapil Sharma Show where he will spoof Pakistani singer Taher Shah, whose song
Angel has been received with
equal parts incredulity and hilarity.
Filmmaker Karan Johar sent out an alert on Twitter:
*ROFL*
Ranveer Singh got there before Varun some months ago, with a
Dubsmash of Taher Shah's song
Eye To Eye.
We've seen
what Ranveer can do. Can Varun Dhawan raise the bar?
Varun's
Dishoom, co-starring John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez, releases on July 29. The film is directed by his brother Rohit Dhawan and stars Akshaye Khanna as the antagonist.
