Varun Dhawan calls dad ‘different task master’

NOT FATHER AND SON WHEN ON SET

Actor Varun Dhawan says things are going to be very different for him when he starts shooting for Main Tera Hero, which will be directed by his father David Dhawan. This will be Varun’s second movie in Bollywood after Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year (SOTY), and he feels things are going to be very professional between them.

“It is a different ball game [from SOTY]... my dad is a different taskmaster. I don’t look at him as my father and he does not look at me as his son when we are on the set. I need to perform and there are no two ways about that,” Varun said.

Main Tera Hero is a Bollywood remake of Telugu movie Kandireega and will go on the floors June 20.

ANCHOR MANISH PAUL NOW TURNS ACTOR WITH MICKY VIRUS

Anchor-actor Manish Paul, who makes his debut as lead actor in Micky Virus, says his anchoring experience helped him when he faced the camera to act.

The 31-year-old has hosted shows such as Dance India Dance Li’l Masters and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstar. However, he was hugely appreciated for his energetic and spontaneous performance on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 as its host.

“Anchoring has helped me because initially I was not that confident about being in front of the camera,” said Manish and added that he got comfortable with acting after doing workshops.

“When I started acting, I was conscious that I should not sound like an anchor, but acting workshops helped me there,” he said.

Directed by debutante Saurabh Verma, Manish will be seen as computer hacker in Mickey Virus.
