MUMBAI: Jalandhar boy Varun Sharma wooed audiences with his endearing performance in the Fukrey series. In his five-year long journey, the actor has already given some memorable performances. Now, the 28-year-old is all set to host an interesting game show.

Time Internet is soon launching their OTT platform. For the same digital VOD service, they are coming up with an interesting game show. TellyChakkar has exclusive information that Varun Sharma has bagged the show as a host.

The program is titled Bollywood Buzzinga. As per our sources, the series would be a unique format of quiz and games.

The actor, who will be soon seen opposite Govinda in FryDay, has already started shooting for the show.

'The makers wanted a host who has a great sense of comedy and humour,' a source reveals. With Sharma’s growing popularity amongst the teens and his quirky comic timing, he fit the bill perfectly.

A little birdie also reveals that the show will see some big Bollywood faces from time to time. 'Although Varun will be the solo host, there would be some celebs joining him to co-host in some special episodes,' an insider adds. The series will tentatively launch on 15 August. We couldn’t reach out to Varun for a comment until the time of filing the story. After giving a surprise hit with Fukrey, Varun has been part of many comedy films such as Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon and Dilwale. We are sure that Sharma will kill it as host in his maiden digital project.
