Overview
- Comedian Tanmay Bhat joked that Varun Dhawan’s promotion might reach only “1% of Dhurandhar” during a YouTube episode that went viral, and the two traded good‑natured quips about Varun’s new film.
- Varun Dhawan responded with humour on the show and disclosed that a widely circulated still claiming to show him in Border 2 was not from the film and had been generated with AI.
- Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai opened on June 5 to mixed reviews and a modest start at the Indian box office, reportedly earning about ₹7.5 crore net on day one and underperforming versus recent franchise benchmarks.
- Tanmay’s remark was read by many viewers as a sly reference to Ranveer Singh’s exit from Don 3, a dispute that producers say caused roughly ₹45 crore in pre‑production losses and that IMPAA is set to review.
- The episode underlines three industry trends reporters note: soaring franchise totals that reset expectations, public friction between talent and producers being handled by industry bodies, and how AI‑altered material can fuel online narratives.
