"#HumptySharmaKiDulhania is also ahead of #SOTY (Student Of The Year) Fri + Sat biz by almost $50,000 in USA-Canada. SUPERB!," he tweeted.
"#HumptySharmaKiDulhania all set to emerge Varun Dhawan's HIGHEST grosser in USA-Canada. Crosses *lifetime biz* of #MainTeraHero in 2 days."
"Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania", which sees Varun with Alia Bhatt, is way ahead of "Main Tera Hero" in the UAE too.

"Rajkummar Rao can dance sala!! just finished a song sequence with Malaika and Raj.. Both were awesome. Raj matched Malaika step for step," tweeted Arbaaz.
He didn't' disclose in which song Rajkummar shook a leg with Malaika, who is doing item number "Pop Ragini" for the movie.
Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the film stars Sonam Kapoor in the title role and for the first time Rajkummar's funny side will be up in the movie. They are joined by Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma in the cast.
Viewers would get to see Rajkummar's comedy and dance when "Dolly Ki Doli" hits theatres Feb 6 next year.
