'Bhediya' star Varun Dhawan reveals Ajay Devgn called him after his first flop; says he is 'MS Dhoni of actors'

Varun Dhawan starrer 'Bhediya' and Ajay Devgn starrer 'Drishyam 2' locked locked horns at the box office. However, the actors were all praise for each other's performances and films on social media.

Spilling some beans on the bond that he shares with Ajay, Varun told a news portal, that he loves the way the 'Drishyam' actor handles his career. According to him, whether its success or failure, his expression remains the same. Varun also went on to call Ajay the MS Dhoni of actors.

Elaborating further, Varun added that Ajay is very encouraging to youngsters. The actor also revealed that when he had a string of hits and one film didn’t work, Ajay was the first person to call him up and ask how he was doing. Varun also spilled the beans on the advice he received from the senior actor. Ajay told Varun that it didn't matter if his film failed. People still loved him, and he is here to stay. He added that it was part of the deal and asked him to keep moving on. "He is an actor I really admire," Varun told Indian Express.

'Bhediya' is Dinesh Vijan's third film in his popular horror-comedy franchise after 'Stree' and 'Roohi'. The film is directed by Amar Kaushik and also stars Kriti Sanon in the lead role.

'Drishyam 2', on the other hand, also starred Shriya Saran, Tabu, Ishita Dutta, and Akshaye Khanna. The film has been doing record-breaking business at the box office.
