Samay Raina reacts to Varun Dhawan promoting 'Wow': It will work if it's a good song, no need to do all this

Samay Raina jokingly tells Varun Dhawan his song promotion strategy won't work, saying a good song will work on its own. Watch their gym banter.

"If it's a good song, it'll work. - Samay Raina"

Mumbai, May 13

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan and comedian Samay Raina recently shared a fun behind-the-scenes moment from their gym time, further giving fans a glimpse of their light-hearted camaraderie around Varun's latest song, 'Wow.'

In a video shared by Varun on his social media account, the actor was seen singing the opening lines of his upcoming movie Huai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai's latest track 'Wow', further expecting Samay to join in with the main hook line.

However, Samay, in his own hilariouly dramatic and sarcastic way, had his own take on the song's promotions. As Varun started singing, Samay jokingly responded, "Bro, this way it won't work.," hinting at Varun's song promotion strategy.

When Varun asked why, the comedian quickly added, "If it's a good song, it'll work." The candid exchange left Varun amused who said, "Oh I thought it will only work this way."

Talking about Wow, the peppy dance number features Varun Dhawan alongside Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde.

Varun has been going all out in promoting the song. Recently, he had performed a peppy and fun dance performance on Wow along with Sanya Malhotra.

The track is a part of the upcoming romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, directed by veteran filmmaker David Dhawan. The movie is set to mark yet another father-son collaboration between David and Varun.

The movie is slated to hit theatres on June 5, 2026. Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai also stars Jimmy Sheirgill and Maniesh Paul in key roles.

Finally someone said it! These days every movie is promoted with gimmicks—gym videos, dance challenges, and whatnot. Samay Raina gave a reality check in his typical sarcastic style. Varun bhai, focus on the music quality first. A good tune will work even without all this buzz. Arre yaar, aaj kal toh songs bhi forgettable hai.

This is the kind of banter we need more of in Bollywood! Samay didn't even try to hide his disapproval, and Varun took it like a sport. But honestly, I agree with Samay—too much promotion kills the organic charm. 'Wow' might be a good dance number, but actors should let the music speak. Also, David Dhawan's film after a gap? Hoping it's funny!

As someone who follows Bollywood from the US, this exchange is hilarious. Samay's deadpan delivery is gold. But let's be fair—Varun has always been a hard worker promoting his films. Maybe the song is genuinely catchy, and this light-hearted video is just a fun way to engage fans. I'll wait to hear 'Wow' before judging.

Samay Raina is the real MVP here. He said what many are thinking—Bollywood promotions have become too forced. Varun ji, aapki film ka song 'Wow' ho ya na ho, but this kind of content is cringe. I hope the movie has good writing, not just these marketing stunts. Jimmy Sheirgill is always a treat, at least.
