It indeed must be a proud moment for Varun Dhawan. The actor who is currently promoting his upcoming venture ‘ABCD2’ has some meaty roles in his kitty. Besides playing one of the leads in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Dilwale’ featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Kriti Sanon, the actor will also be seen in the much-talked about ‘Shuddhi’.
