Watch: Varun shares glimpse of his character from 'Coolie No. 1'

Varun Dhawan shared a behind-the-scenes video from his upcoming film 'Coolie No. 1' from Bangkok.

Mumbai: Actor Varun Dhawan shared a behind-the-scenes video from his upcoming flick 'Coolie No. 1', introducing his character Kuwar Mahinder Pratap. The star is currently shooting for the film in Bangkok.

He shared a funny clip from the location. The actor can be seen having fun on a yacht before his stunt goes haywire.

Posting the video on Instagram, Varun wrote, "KUWAR MAHINDER PRATAP. In the middle of the ocean nearly fell off. #coolieno1."

In the video, Varun is seen in a printed shirt, beige trousers with a matching overcoat and accessorised his look with shades and fake gold rings. In the videoclip the actor emphasises that the rings are "fake".

He reveals in the post that they are shooting in the South China Sea and it is a lot of fun to shoot on the water.

He first mentions that his yacht is moving at a speed of 800 km before hastening to add that he actually does not know the speed of the yacht. Varun steps into the water but after a while asked the sailor to pull him up as he was unable to climb aboard on his own.

His fans seemed concerned with his stint. A fan wrote, "You're crazy" while another said, "Be careful Varun and take care."

Other than Varun, the film also stars Sara Ali Khan as the female lead and Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Johnny Lever and Jaaved Jaaferi in pivotal roles.

The original film which starred Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in the lead was directed by David.

Varun's father will also direct the upcoming film which will be produced by Vashu Bhagnani, who also bankrolled the 1995 classic.

This will be the third collaboration between David and Varun after the 2014 movie 'Main Tera Hero' and the 2017 hit film 'Judwaa 2'.

Varun is teaming up with Sara Ali Khan for the first time in the 'Coolie No.1' remake. The film will hit the screens on May 1, next year.
