On Wednesday, Varun Dhawan was spotted at Dinesh Vijan’s office, leaving the social media wonder as to what was he up-to. While the actor is all ready to take off to Alibaug in a couple of days for his wedding with steady date, Natasha Dalal, Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that the actor is all set to commence shooting for his upcoming horror comedy, the Amar Kaushik directed Bhediya. The movie pairs him alongside Kriti Sanon after Dilwale and is said to be a part of Dinesh Vijan’s horror universe.

“In February, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon will take off to Arunachal Pradesh to begin their work on Bhediya. It’s going to be a two-month schedule at real locations of the state, before calling it a wrap. The script demanded a certain kind of topography, and Arunachal Pradesh will lend the necessary support to the narrative of the film,” revealed a source close to the development, adding further that a chunk of the film will be set in Arunachal Pradesh capital, Itanagar.

The trend of horror comedy in Bollywood started with Golmaal Again, followed by the success of Stree, and since ample of films have been made in that space over the last three years, a conscious effort has gone in making this different from all that has been being made in this space. “This is more like a monster comedy than a quintessential horror comedy, and the team will be shooting extensively against the backdrop mountains and rivers in the North Eastern state. Major chunk will be shot in Arunachal, followed by some patchwork scenes in Mumbai,” the source informed, and further added that the idea it to wrap it up by April.
