Now, actor Chunky Panday has drawn a comparison between David’s son Varun Dhawan and the two stars, saying that Varun possesses shades of both Salman and Govinda while still maintaining his own distinct identity. During a chat with ETimes, Chunky, who shares screen space with Varun in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, said he enjoyed working with the younger generation of actors. He was particularly appreciative of Varun, calling him a very hands-on actor. The actor further added that Varun is very good at improvisation.
