If the performances of film franchises are to be judged upon, the third installment always turns out to be underwhelming but that wasn’t the case of Wassup! Andheri 2013. The city’s largest cultural festival for the suburbs conceptualized by F5 Advertainment and powered by Itz Cash took on a deeper hue on Saturday, i.e. Day III of the four-day extravaganza.
Taking off from where he had left off on Day II, casting director Mukesh Chhabra began his ‘Next Big Star’ hunt with more gusto, evidently relishing the overwheliming attention from talents. After all, the man who’s in charge of casting for Anurag Kashyap, Imtiaz Ali, Karan Johar, Raju Hirani and others didn’t have a dearth of participants trying to impress him.
This was preceded by a workshop by Irma Battig on reversing the process of aging that reminded one of the classic Benjamin Button! And while kids spent their precious weekend afternoon learning everything from African mask-makingto aero models and ceramic art, their relived parents were all to happy hopping from one to the other of the three dozen or so stalls selling handicrafts, art, appliances and more.
Young heartthrob, Varun Dhawan, vowed the audience with his surprise act. The audience were seen dancing with him as he grooved to some peppy numbers. Looking as hot as ever, the charming star Varun Dhawan, won hearts in the little time he spent on stage.
