Such adventures work only on silver screen: Cops fine actor Varun Dhawan over a 'dangerous' selfie

Varun Dhawan has landed in the crosshairs of Mumbai Police after the actor was photographed clicking. what cops seem to believe, a dangerous selfie with a fan on the streets of the megacity.

In a tweet that strongly reprimanded Dhawan, the Mumbai Police said they have issued an e-challan over the actor's 'stunt'. "These adventures surely work on D (the) silver screen but certainly not on the roads of Mumbai!" the tweet said.

The tweet was accompanied by a clipping of a local tabloid that carried photos of Varun Dhawan clicking the selfie in question. In the photos, Varun is seen leaning out of his car and clicking a selfie with a female fan, who is in an autorickshaw.

The photos, or the caption alongside them, did not make it clear whether Varun shot the selfie while his car was in motion. What is clear, however, is that Varun wasn't the one driving, with the photos showing him sitting in the passenger's seat.

Mumbai Police, regarded as one of the most Twitter-friendly forces in the country, however wasn't in a forgiving mood and said, ""U (You) have risked ur (your) life, ur (your) admirer's and few others. V (We) expect better from a responsible Mumbaikar and youth icon like U (you)! An E-Challan is on d (the) way 2 ur (to your) home."
