Varun Dhawan on collaborating with Filipino choreographer Ruel Dausan Varindani for a special single that aims to promote hip-hop

Varun Dhawan
Three years after he made hip-hop mainstream in India with ABCD 2 (2015), Varun Dhawan continues to promote the dance form. One of the finest dancers in the industry, the actor has put his might behind the hip-hop festival, Vivid Shuffle, in his bid to encourage youngsters to explore the art. The actor revisited the dance style as he shot for the festival anthem, titled Ready To Shuffle, at a South Mumbai venue on Wednesday.
Despite being a prolific dancer, Dhawan says it was not easy to impress Filipino choreographer Ruel Dausan Varindani. The actor did extensive rehearsals in B-boying, freestyle, and popping and locking under Varindani's tutelage before he faced the camera. Speaking of his experience of grooving to the track, rendered by Raftaar, Dhawan says, "Ruel wanted Raftaar and me to do a routine in one go. He really pushed us to get the best out of us."
