Varun Sharma is stepping into the familiar world of comedies with Rahu Ketu. For company, the actor has his Fukrey co-star, Pulkit Samrat. As he reunites with one of his favourite co-actors, Sharma promises they will be a riot again in Vipul Vig’s directorial venture. “They say school friendships last a lifetime. This is our school friendship of sorts. Pulkit and I have been together since our nursery school days in the film industry,” he laughs.

Sharma and Samrat’s reunion invites comparisons with Fukrey, considering their respective characters, Choocha and Hunny, are widely popular. Did he have any fear of repetition? Sharma reflects, “When we started, there was a slight thought [of repetition]. But the world, concept, and the characters are completely different. If you love Fukrey 1, 2 and 3, if you love the Hunny-Choocha pairing and are coming with that expectation — yes, you’ll get that mazaa, but in a completely new world.”
