“Ranveer ki dhoti mein Prabhas ka paudha” Varun Dhawan trolled over 'Baahubali' comment in 'SSKTK' teaser

The makers of Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari have finally shared the teaser, and it sets the mood for a lively entertainer. Starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead, the film promises a world full of playful banter, sharp one-liners, and a splash of colourful energy.

The teaser quickly establishes its humour with Varun Dhawan stepping into a Baahubali-inspired outfit. What follows is already being talked about for its punchy dialogues and comic set-up.

Varun as Sunny Sanskari gets an unusual introduction

Varun Dhawan is introduced as Sunny Sanskari, a man who seems almost childlike in his innocence. His very first appearance has him dressed like Baahubali, seeking approval from his friend Muntu, played by Abhinav Sharma. Instead of admiration, Sunny receives a stinging reply. Muntu dismisses his look with the comment, “Ranveer Singh ki dhoti mein Prabhas ka paudha lag raha hai.” The line lands as both a tease and a gag, instantly giving the teaser a memorable opening beat.

This opening interaction sets the tone of Sunny’s world. He might be eager to impress, but his efforts are bound to attract mockery, and it is in this constant mismatch that the film seems to find its comedy.

Supporting characters step into the spotlight

The teaser then shifts focus to the other key players. Sanya Malhotra makes her entry, and the visuals suggest she is paired opposite Rohit Saraf. Rohit is given an almost heroic introduction, descending from a helicopter to mark his presence. His role appears to be that of a wealthy man, and the teaser frames him with grandeur.

At the same time, Janhvi Kapoor’s Tulsi begins to emerge in glimpses. She shares light moments with Varun’s Sunny, and their chemistry carries the innocence of two characters stumbling through confusion while trying to keep pace with the chaos around them.

Music and nostalgia play their part

Shashank Khaitan, who has previously directed Varun Dhawan in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, seems to be relying once again on energetic songs to power the story forward. The teaser drops hints of multiple dance tracks that arrive one after another, adding to the festive mood of the film.

One striking moment is Varun recreating a look from the classic Hum Kisise Kum Nahin. The reference to the iconic track Kya Hua Tera Wada is bound to pull audiences in with nostalgia, while also keeping the film rooted in its playful spirit. A glimpse of a Holi number adds another layer of colour and rhythm to the teaser, suggesting that music will be a vital storytelling device here.

A comic twist in the airplane sequence

The teaser saves a witty stretch for the end. Varun’s Sunny, Janhvi’s Tulsi, and Abhinav Sharma’s Muntu find themselves on a flight. Sunny brings up the story of how Tulsi and he first crossed paths. He jokingly claims nobody would believe that Tulsi met him in a nightclub. Tulsi insists that she has indeed been to one, only for Sunny to undercut her confidence with a cheeky correction. He says the place she is describing is not a nightclub but a religious jagran, leaving her embarrassed.

This sequence reinforces the contrast between the characters. While Tulsi is projected as sheltered and simple, Sunny thrives on twisting situations for laughs. It hints at the larger theme of two contrasting personalities coming together and colliding in unexpected ways.

Familiar territory for Dhawan and Khaitan

The collaboration between Varun Dhawan and Shashank Khaitan is one that has worked well in the past. Both Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania had Varun playing flawed yet endearing men caught in whirlwind romances. From the teaser, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari seems to fall into the same zone, where Khaitan lets Varun’s comic timing and physical humour do the heavy lifting.

What stands out, though, is the attempt to blend situational comedy with a broader romantic set-up. The title itself suggests a mix of tradition and cheekiness, and the teaser plays into that balance.

First impression

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is being pitched as a lighthearted ride. From the Baahubali gag to the airplane scene, it packs in humour that feels self-aware without losing its easy charm. The presence of Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf widens the canvas, making sure the film is not just about Sunny’s antics but also about the ensemble that reacts to his eccentricities.

If the teaser is anything to go by, Shashank Khaitan seems keen to return to his tried and tested recipe of comedy, romance, and music. And with Varun Dhawan at the centre, audiences can expect a mix of silliness and sincerity that has defined his most successful outings so far.
