Varun Dhawan enjoys Raja Babu re-release in theaters; shares Instagram sneak peeks

Actor Varun Dhawan, who was last seen in Nitesh Tiwary's 'Bawaal' in 2023, starred in a reboot of his father David Dhawan's film 'Coolie No. 1' in 2020. The original film featured Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in the lead roles. Varun recently attended a screening of Govinda's 1994 film 'Raja Babu', which was re-released in theaters.

On August 5, Varun Dhawan took to his Instagram story to share a sneak peek of watching Raja Babu in a cinema hall. The video features a scene from the film where Govinda can be seen donning a pair of sunglasses while flaunting his navy look for a photoshoot.

Varun mentioned the movie title and added fireworks emojis in his Instagram story.

He also shared two more glimpses from his experience of watching Raja Babu on the big screen. In the second Instagram story, Govinda is seen dancing to 'Pak Chik Pak Raja Babu' with his co-star Shakti Kapoor.

The 'Badlapur' actor tagged Govinda and wrote, "Govinda back in cinemas #RAJABABU." He also dropped Karisma Kapoor's glimpse from Mera Dil Na Todo. In a video, the actress can be seen grooving with Govinda on the big screen.

'Raja Babu' is being screened at PVR-INOX theaters to celebrate the Comedy Film Festival, which runs from August 2 to August 14. The multiplex chain recently announced on Instagram that it would be showing classic comedies like 'Raja Babu,' 'Masti,' 'Golmaal Returns,' and Partner during the festival.

Directed by David Dhawan, the 1994 film Raja Babu also starred Kader Khan, Aruna Irani, and Shakti Kapoor in crucial roles. The story revolves around a wealthy village couple who adopt an orphan boy, Raja Singh, played by Govinda.

Raja Babu falls in love with a wealthy girl, Madhubala (Madhu), played by Karisma Kapoor. However, she initially rejects him for his unsophisticated attitude.

Varun Dhawan is now gearing up for films like 'Baby John,' 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,' and 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.' Varun last made a cameo appearance in Sharvari Wagh's film 'Munjya' earlier this year.
