Why is Varun Dhawan learning Arabic?  

Varun Dhawan will reportedly kick-start 2016 with Rohit Dhawan's film Dishoom, for which the actor has begun learning Arabic.

Apparently, Dhawan has not only undergone physical training for the film, but also put in hours of linguistic training for his character. Dishoom is set in the Middle East, and producer Sajid Nadiadwala has reportedly appointed an Arabic diction coach to help the actor brush up his diction.

Dishoom also stars John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez and will be released on July 29, 2016.
