Close on the heels of telling us that the film's promotional campaign was shot entirely at an outdoor location in complete natural light, a first for Varun Dhawan and perhaps for any recent Bollywood film, the makers have upped the excitement with an innovative calendar video that reminds us of the film's release date.
