The minute you become an actor, you go to award shows and you perform there, first time I got on to stage, I don’t know what happened, I froze!”

“I started talking too fast. When you are on stage and Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Rekha, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and many more are right in front of you, I started blabbering, I don’t know what happened? I froze and got scared. I think celebrities freaked me out,” he elaborated.

The speaking about the solution, Varun revealed, “So to overcome it, my idol Rock Johnson, he is amazing on stage, and Elvis Presley, he too is amazing on stage. So I started watching a lot of their videos. So next time I went on stage, I imagined myself as Elvis and I told myself, I am here and I am going to own this”

Varun ended up pulling off a Priya Varrier too by the end of the video. Watch it here:
