Just days after sharing a much viewed inspiring video of father David Dhawan, actor Varun Dhawan pulled off an 18-hour shift while shooting for his upcoming and fainted due to low blood pressure. A media report said, "Varun was battling cold and fever for a long time but continued to shoot nonetheless, well aware that his portions had to be wrapped up before July 26. In the film he had a gruelling dance sequence with his co-actors. Following intense prep, Varun was shooting for the number when he got dizzy and fainted. An alarmed director Remo D'Souza immediately called for the doctor, who diagnosed Varun with low blood pressure and advised him bed rest for few days. Naturally, Remo called off the shoot for the next two days."
Varun was shooting for Remo's 'Super Dancer 3D' amid cold and fever and wanted to wrap it up by July 26. However, Varun returned to the sets after just a day's rest. A source confirmed, "Knowing that they had lost out on a day. Varun told Remo that he would do a double shift. He reported to the set at 1 pm and worked till 7 am next day." Varun is also said to have shot for a commercial on the same day.
Dhawan had recently shared video of his filmmaker father who can be seen talking about his struggle in Bollywood. David Dhawan talks about how he worked in double shifts while shuttling between location and the hotel. Dhawan Jr shared the video and wrote, "My dad's schedule for his film vs my schedule. Even with fever while I shoot and think today was a hard day on the sets of #sds. This is only till my dad told me how he used to shoot a double shift going up to nearly 19 or 20 hrs a day sometimes. Those days the unions where not strong enough for technicians and films needed to be made in this manner. I want to always be the hardest worker in the room and I still have a lot of catching up to do to earn that place in my home. #lovefilms."
Varun will be seen opposite Shraddha Kapoor in 'Super Dancer 3D', which is set to hit theatres on January 24 next year. He will then begin work on his father's 'Coolie No. 1' remake.
