ABCD 2, Varun Dhawan Get a Khan-Style Shout-Out From Salman

In a series of tweets that takes a little bit of decoding, Salman Khan has given actor Varun Dhawan’s new film a shout-out on Twitter. ABCD 2, which expands into Any Body Can Dance, just opened and stars Varun as a dancer whose troupe heads to a Las Vegas competition seeking both glory and redemption.

Here are the first set of Salman’s tweets, in order:

If Varun has seen these tweets from trade analyst Taran Adarsh, chances are he’s smiling already:

Varun, 28, previously received a Twitter endorsement from Salman who tweeted ‘Kamaal karte ho‘ after the younger actor was announced to have replaced him in Karan Johar’s beleaguered Shuddhi.

ABCD 2, directed by Remo D’Souza, also stars Shraddha Kapoor, Prabhu Deva and Lauren Gottlieb.
