Comedian Tanmay Bhat recently took a playful jab at actor Varun Dhawan's recent box office track record while talking about the roaring success of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar franchise.
During a conversation on Tanmay's YouTube channel, the comedian roasted Varun, saying, 'The amount of hard work you are putting in promoting the film (Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai) is commendable because it takes some kind of optimism to work this hard to get 1% of Dhurandhar box office numbers.'
Varun responded with a laugh, saying, 'I think post Dhurandhar we are living with this weight ki bhai hum bhi kuch na kuch karle (brother, we also have to do something).'
Dhurandhar was released in theatres on December 5, 2025, and Dhurandhar 2 on March 19 this year. The franchise has collected over ₹3000 crore worldwide.
Varun's recent project, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, took a single-digit start at the domestic box office, making it one of Varun Dhawan's lowest openings ever.
