Nested variable in Ansible

Question

I have a variable client: client1 and I want to use it to fetch multiple facts into a template like below.

"{{ hostvars[{{ client }}][ansible_default_ipv4][address] }}"

"{{ hostvars[{{ client }}][ansible_hostname] }}"

"{{ hostvars[{{ client }}][ansible_fqdn] }}"

I have tried removing the braces, using a dictionary[key] in place of client but couldn't figure out. What is the right usage here?

The right answer is: "{{ hostvars[client]['ansible_default_ipv4']['address'] }}"
