Being the Bollywood fanboy that he is, VD was inspired to go to Goa with his friends after watching the cult classic Dil Chahta Hai. He has been to Goa with his college friends and friends many times since then. Dhawan has also been to Goa for work. He shot a romantic track from his film Coolie No 1 with Sara Ali Khan in there. Coolie No 1 was a remake of Dhawan’s father director David Dhawan’s original movie of the same name that starred Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in the lead roles.

Las Vegas is special for Dhawan because his popular film ABCD 2 was shot there. “ABCD2 and Vegas are synonymous,” he says. In an interview, the actor had also shared an interesting incident that happened with him in a hotel in Las Vegas. He was staying in the Sinatra suite of a luxury hotel, where legendary singer Frank Sinatra used to stay while performing in Vegas. Dhawan’s crew members scared him by narrating made-up haunting stories about the suite.
