When Varun Dhawan revealed that he turned down India’s Got Latent on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast

Amid India’s Got Latent controversy involving Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia, an old clip of Varun Dhawan is going viral, where he revealed that Samay had invited him to be a part of Latent. However, he declined, stating that it might backfire and he may get cancelled due to the show’s humour.

While appearing on Ranveer’s podcast, Varun said, “He asked me to be on the show, and genuinely, I think I’d thrive on the show, and I would go for it. I would get cancelled, but I feel his show would be affected negatively because the more eyeballs you get in that way, sometimes, when you are doing that, humour can backfire—though he is not scared.”

“I would do it in a heartbeat; I am not worried. But I think with the teams I am dealing with right now, I will have to do it when I am not promoting, so that nobody else gets caught in the crossfire — because there will be a crossfire, for sure.”
