Varun Dhawan learns to drive speedboat for ‘Dishoom’

Varun Dhawan, as reported by BizAsia, was prepping quite a bit for his role in his brother Rohit’s directorial ‘Dishoom’. Now, it’s come to light that he’s also learnt to drive a speedboat for the film in Abu Dhabi.

“Varun wakes up at 6 am, earlier than the rest of the unit, to start training. This particular scene will be high on action and Varun is working hard to make it look authentic. He’s in the UAE for a 35-day schedule,” says a source from the sets of the film, according to Mumbai Mirror.

Dhawan himself also spoke about the training, “The team has got me a trainer called Tony who has worked with several stuntmen for water-based action sequences. It’s a big and expensive scene so I have to be very confident when I’m driving the speedboat. We have to clock speeds of 200 km per hour. I have had a couple of sessions already. It’s a lot of fun to be hitting the waters at that speed”.

‘Dishoom’ also stars John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez. It’s slated for release on 29th July 2016.
