Varun has been shooting in Arunachal for his upcoming horror-comedy, Bhediya, directed by Amar Kaushik.

It also features Abhishek Banerjee and Deepak Dobriyal in pivotal roles.

Several videos of Varun being mobbed by fans in Arunachal have been shared online. In one such clip, he could be seen climbing atop a car and requesting them to allow the shoot to continue. “Thode time ke liye humlog hai idhar. Bohot time ke liye hai. Toh hopefully, shooting jab khatam hota hai toh main aap sab se mil paunga (We will be here for quite some time. Hopefully, once the shooting ends, I will be able to meet you all),” he said.
