The day we got on a flight to Chandigarh and then had to drive to Manali, this was Ayan’s idea to get us all in a car together, so that we get to know each other better. So, Adi, me, Deepika & Ranbir were all in the car and I think the car stopped in many places, we had like dhaba food. But basically, we got to know each other. By the end, we all passed out on each other’s laps. There was a lot of fun & games. Basically, it was like Ranbir and his protective army of people against me & Adi, who would always try and get our revenge. Because you know, every time we try to pour water on him or do a trick on him, there were like 20 people, like entourage, protecting him! And he’d easily get to do that to us.

VARUN & ALIA GET COLOURFUL IN ‘BADRI KI DULHANIA’
The title track of director Shashank Khaitan’s BADRI KI DULHANIA is a tribute to Holi. Interestingly, BADRI KI DULHANIA is also the 1st Holi number for the lead actors, Varun Dhawan & Alia Bhatt, though the latter had a montage scene of the festival in producer Karan Johar’s earlier offering, 2 STATES. Composed by Tanishq Bagchi, penned by Shabbir Ahmed & choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, the peppy track gives a feel of what the movie is all about. Picturised on a set specially built for the purpose, the song, which was released recently, has the vibe of nautanki in small towns and how people come together to celebrate the festival. Shashank says, “We’ve tried to treat the festival in a novel way – it’s not restricted to using pichkaris & throwing colours. We have used colours as part of choreography, and there is a lot more dancing in our song. While we’ve seen Varun do hardcore commercial stuff, this is the 1st time ever you’ll see Alia do such a dance number. Though she has done “Radha On The Dance Floor” in STUDENT OF THE YEAR, which was a younger & cool number, she has a 90s’ look in BADRI KI DULHANIA.“
