Actor Varun Dhawan recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as he celebrated 10 years of his action-comedy film "Dishoom."
He recalled the memorable experience of working with John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez. Taking to Instagram, John shared throwback pictures from the set and expressed his fond memories of making the Rohit Dhawan directorial. He captioned the post, "Toh Dishoom Had the best time making a film with my brothers rohit @thejohnabraham @jacquelienefernandez. We shot a large portion of it in UAE. How time flies but anytime india ko bura kahaan toh dishoom can be back. 10 years."
In the carousel photos, Varun Dhawan gave a glimpse of his strong bond with John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez. In the pictures, Varun and John could be seen posing together, while the 'Student of the Year' actor also shared goofy moments with Jacqueline.
Released in 2016, "Dishoom," helmed by Rohit Dhawan, featured Varun Dhawan and John Abraham in the roles of police officers Junaid Ansari and Kabir Shergill.

Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan was last seen in the romantic comedy "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai," alongside Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde. Helmed by David Dhawan, the film boasts an ensemble cast featuring Chunky Panday, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi and Maniesh Paul in pivotal roles. Mouni Roy made a special appearance. The movie was released in theatres on June 5.

I remember watching this in the theatre with my family! The action was over-the-top but so entertaining. Varun's energy is infectious. Also, the cameo by Akshay Kumar was a great surprise. Nostalgia hitting hard right now. ❤️
Honestly, I didn't love the movie's plot—it was a bit predictable for a buddy-cop film. But I can't deny the stars' charisma and the slick production. It's still a fun weekend watch if you don't overthink it. Varun seems like a genuinely cheerful guy on set.
The "India ko bura kahaan toh dishoom" line is still a vibe! 😂 It's great to see actors celebrating their work from a decade ago. Hats off to John for staying so fit and Varun for keeping that boyish charm. Good times, indeed!
Wait, Parineeti, Akshay, AND Nargis all had cameos? I totally forgot about that! This movie was pure 2010s Bollywood energy. Also, can we talk about how refreshing it is to see actors with no ego, just celebrating their co-stars? Loved this post. 🌟
Dishoom was a typical masala entertainer, but it worked in India. The pace was quick, the stunts were decent, and the songs were catchy. It's nice to see Varun taking a trip down memory lane. His new film with his dad, 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai,' also looks fun. Bollywood keeps the energy up!
