Varun Dhawan is quite excited about the India launch of the Nokia Lumia 620, the company's third Windows Phone 8 smartphone, which has a dual-core processor, and features like Smart Shoot, Nokia Music, Cinemagraph and city lens, and yet is affordable.
Buying this phone could give a football fan the chance to win a golden ticket to fly to FC Barcelona's home stadium '" Camp Nou '" to watch a match and meet the players, too!
A football fanatic (and of FCB, too!) himself, he also admits he loves technology. "So, it's perfectly natural for me to get excited. I've been playing around with the 620. It is a powerhouse! It's fast and has great apps. What better way to launch this than by giving consumers a chance to watch FC Barcelona play live!"
FCB fans can get updates on the team and even plan meetings with other fans through the Tiki Taka with Lumia app on this phone.

I want to do a negative role: Varun Dhawan
Vijaya Tiwari, TNN Jan 21, 2013, 06.25PM IST
Bollywood's latest sensation Varun Dhawan who is riding high these days all thanks to his recent Bollywood blockbuster Student Of The Year, attended Filmfare Awards function for the first time ever, last night.
Well, we know it's tough to believe but it's true that despite coming from a Bollywood family, Varun attended his first Filmfare Award ceremony.
"This was my first attendance at the Filmfare award function. I've never attended any Filmfare ceremony before because my father attends award ceremonies only for 10-15 minutes. Since I was hosting the show and performing as well, I had to force him to attend the function. It feels great and I was quite excited," said Varun.
Dhawan made his debut last year with Student Of The Year where he played the son of a business tycoon who has a strained relationship with his father. However, after giving a commercial hit at the box office the young lad now wants to concentrate on meaty roles and wishes to play a negative character in future.
"I want to do a negative character as well. I am attracted towards doing grey shades because it will give me a chance to show their point of view, their side and the psyche of the negative character," concludes Varun.

Karan Johar is Varun Dhawan's mentor and is launching him in showbiz with "Student Of The Year" (SOTY). The newcomer is so confident about his 'guru' that he is ready to do anything for him.

Currently in the midst of promotions of SOTY, the 24-year-old worked as assistant director to Johar on My Name Is Khan.
The actor says he has received offers from outside Dharma Productions as well, but it was too early to talk about them at the moment.
