Bollywood actors Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra were seen recreating Veer Pahariya’s viral “one-leg dance” during Maddock Films’ 20th anniversary celebration, delighting fans with their nostalgic tribute.

The video, recorded at the event, shows the two stars imitating Pahariya’s unique dance moves on the floor, a style that had earlier attracted both attention and criticism on social media. The clip ends with Varun giving Sidharth a warm hug, drawing praise for their chemistry and camaraderie.

The two actors rose to fame together in the 2012 film Student of the Year, and fans were quick to reminisce about their early days, calling the video a symbol of their enduring friendship.

Earlier, Veer Pahariya had come under heavy criticism for his unconventional performance in a song from Sky Force, his debut film based on the 1965 Indo-Pak air war. However, he responded with humour, saying, “I love trolling. Twenty days ago, no one knew me. Now even if I limp, people will recognise me.”

Despite the backlash, Sky Force, produced by Maddock Films, was a box office success and helped Pahariya gain significant recognition in the industry.
