With the likes of Alia Bhatt, Jacqueline Fernandez and Kartik Aaryan personalising the content on their YouTube channel, it seems Varun Dhawan does not want to be left far behind. According to a report in a leading daily, Varun is all set to kickstart a special chat show, where — in a role reversal of sorts — he will be seen as the host as he interviews his childhood idols. Apparently, the series, which drops online today, will feature ace cricketer Sachin Tendulkar as the first guest.
"Being an ardent fan of the Master Blaster and having grown up cheering for him, Varun wanted to kick off the show with him. The actor was completely at ease in his new role as he sat down with the legend to discuss his unparalleled career in cricket, life after retirement, and even anecdotes from the last Ashes match. Varun also opened up on his memories of watching Sachin play at different tourneys. The discussion then steered towards their fitness, with both sharing diet tips," the daily quoted a source close to the actor as saying.
Interestingly, on the occasion of National Sports Day on Thursday, Varun enjoyed a game of gully cricket with Sachin and fellow actor Abhishek Bachchan at Mumbai's Mehboob studios. Post the game, the two discussed the importance of sport and fitness in daily life. Check out the video:
Our Hon. PM Shri @narendramodi's #FitIndiaMovement launched today resonates with my dream of transforming into a #SportPlayingNation.
Just loving a sport isn't enough, we need to play it too!

What's more? The show will see Varun interviewing celebrities from the world of sports, culture, food and of course, films. "The line-up is being worked on," concluded the source. Well, we certainly cannot wait to see Varun in an altogether different avatar.
