A carnival-style dance number is almost a fitting way to end the shoot of director David Dhawan’s entertainer Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Following weeks of shooting across different locations in Mumbai, leading man Varun Dhawan will face the camera next week for an extravagant dance number that will serve as the end-credit song. mid-day has learnt that the production team has erected a sprawling set at Mehboob Studios in Bandra for the eight-day shoot.
Before stepping on the dance floor, Varun is apparently prepping hard for the track that will be choreographed by Vijay Ganguly. A source says, “Vijay has mapped out long takes with rapid transitions. In the song, Varun will be moving across different zones — a bridge, a rotating platform, and more — in the multi-level set-up. In one portion, he will also perform a comedic bit that is a hat-tip to Govinda’s dance moves. Varun has been rehearsing at Mehboob Studios, particularly for a demanding sequence that sees him match steps with 60 background dancers.”

After the shoot next week, it will be a wrap on the comedy, which marks the fourth collaboration between Varun and his father David. It also stars Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur.
