"As a kid, I used to watch Michael Jackson's dances on CDs and on television when the dancing star was on world tours. After Youtube came, I watched NTR Junior and Prabhudheva... And picked up a few nuances of dancing," he said.
Varun opined that his another 'ABCD 2' co-star Prabhudheva is the best dancer and everybody else, including Hrithik Roshan and Allu Arjun, comes after him.
"Prabhudheva is the best in dancing. After him comes everyone... Hrithik Roshan, NTR Junior and Allu Arjun are outstanding," he said.
Heaping more praise on the choreographer, who is reprising the role of Vishnu sir in the dance drama, he said, "Prabhudheva is a legend. He is just extraordinary. He is around 50 years old. Look at the way he dances... Better than any other young dancers. His discipline, passion, his humbleness... I am truly a fan of his," he said.
The 'Badlapur' star said he signed the sequel because he liked the first one. "I signed the sequel after I liked the first. I became a fan of ABCD," he said.
Varun also expressed his desire to work with his director father David Dhawan again.
"There is something we might do next year. It would be a David Dhawan kind of film - full of comedy. He is a brand in himself and he doesn't want to disappoint his loyalists."
