Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan recently opened up about an unusual method he and co-star Maniesh Paul used to portray drunkenness authentically in the film *JugJugg Jeeyo*. In a candid interview with Pinkvilla, Dhawan revealed that both actors started drinking alcohol early in the morning to get into character — but things quickly got out of hand.

### The Scene That Required Real Drunkenness

Dhawan recalled the climax scene of the film featuring Anil Kapoor, where his character delivers a drunken speech during a vow renewal ceremony. “During that climax scene with Anil sir, when they are renewing their vows, I get drunk and I give a speech. So we were supposed to be drunk,” he said. To capture the essence of the moment, he and Maniesh began drinking at 7:30 am. By 2:00 pm, both actors were slurring their words, experiencing the effects of their early morning drinking session firsthand.

### Re-shoots Due to Intoxication

Unsurprisingly, their genuine drunkenness made it difficult to finish the scene properly. Dhawan revealed, “And the next day, the shoot continued, so we had to drink again.” This commitment to authenticity involved multiple takes under the influence to get the perfect shot.

### What’s Next for Varun Dhawan?

Aside from *JugJugg Jeeyo*, Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film is *Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari*, which also stars Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf in pivotal roles. The movie is set to release in theaters on Thursday, October 2.
