Bollywood actors Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor are currently busy promoting their upcoming film Bawaal. Varun and Janhvi, who are working together for the first time, had an unique experience on set. Varun revealed that he didn’t speak to Janhvi for a month, which initially bothered her, but he had his reasons for doing so.

In an interview with Gallata Plus, Varun said, “Initially, at least for the first one month we went on set, I tried this thing where I said I won’t communicate with her much. Because I felt we’ll become friends like this (snaps). I said let me not, and let me be a little aloof, a little cold. I’ll talk to everyone else but her, and purposely. I felt it might evoke something in her and something in me when we were doing scenes of that nature.”

He added, “Sir (Nitesh Tiwari) was on this. And then eventually, I told her after 20 days. Then she realised it, otherwise she took it personally. See, I did it selfishly but I think it helped both of us at that time. Actually, in the film, how gradually the couple got to know each other, we also got to know each other gradually, which was interesting.” Reacting to Varun’s comments, director Nitesh Tiwari said, “I didn’t really notice. I honestly don’t mind which schools you guys are from, as long as I get my shot. I think I got that.”

The actors recently promoted the film in Dubai. Varun dropped pictures with Janhvi and wrote in the caption, “Dubai mein Bawaal. Global launch #bawaal.” The film is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video on July 21.
