Watch: Varun Dhawan gets MOBBED by fans as he visits Mount Mary church : Bollywood News

As the release of Street Dancer 3D nears, Varun Dhawan has dived deep into the promotional spree. He, along with co-stars Varun Dhawan and Nora Fatehi, is snapped across the city often. However, the actor's plan to visit Mumbai's Mount Mary Church on Christmas went quite wrong.

We aren't sure if this was a part of the promotional strategy or Varun just came up with an impromptu plan, but he and Nora, at night, took a bike ride to the church. But they hadn't probably anticipated being mobbed. They hid their faces with Santa Claus and Iron Man masks respectively, but couldn't dodge the fans. The crowd present there soon went crazy, and Varun's bodyguard wasn't equipped for the situation. Finally, the actor could not get back to his car and a photographer helped him get on his bodyguard's Activa. Quite a night! Watch the video below.

#VarunDhawan always goes to #mountmarychurch for blessings before his film release as it is very lucky for him. I have personally shot him earlier and have never encountered something like this. It has always been more peaceful but today when he had gone - the crowd was just not able to control their excitement. His bodyguard had never anticipated this and had a tough time managing his boss. Later a photographer had to whisk away Varun on his activa as there was no time for him to safely get in his car. #viralbhayani @viralbhayani
