“It’s an out and out Ganpati dance number with Salman and Varun shaking their legs together. It’s a late-night shoot for the two actors and will be canned at a studio in Mumbai over the weekend. Even Aayush is expected to be a part of the song,” revealed a source close to the development, adding further that Salman and the Dhawan’s bond like a family, and when he picked up the phone on Varun, the actor instantly agreed to come on board the film. “It’s just two days' work for Varun, and he will shoot for his part on Saturday and Sunday,” the source added.
