Varun Dhawan, who is all set for his latest release Dishoom, has expressed his desire to cross the border.
During the shoot of his film in Abu Dhabi, which also features John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez, the Dilwale actor became close friends with his Pakistani driver, who inspired him to visit Pakistan.
“For the 55 to 60 days that I was in Abu Dhabi, I was chilling with my driver there who was from Islamabad. He was 65 years old and I formed a special bond with him,” Varun was quoted as saying, reports The Indian Express.
“Whenever I used to ask him about both India and Pakistan, he used to say ‘Aisa Koi Masla Nahi Hai’,” he added.
“He would take me to the best eateries. He would also pick music of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Chitti Aayi Hai of Pankaj Udhas for me. I got a lot of inspiration from him. I had to speak Arabic in the film and I had a coach with whom I trained. But eventually, I gave my lines to my driver and told him, ‘Aap Bolo Kaise Bolna Hai’.”
Considering his fan following in Pakistan, Varun said that he would like to visit the country one day.
“Hindi films are loved in Pakistan and he told me that they watch all our movies and hoped that I would visit Pakistan someday. I told him that I would definitely like to come,” he said.
“Just recently our Prime Minister visited Pakistan too. So if things become better one day, I would love to go and visit Pakistan,” he added.
