After Sui Dhaaga, Varun Dhawan has delivered yet another success with JugJugg Jeeyo. Well, you agree or not but Varun Dhawan is always loved by all generations.
In his latest interview with IANS, Varun Dhawan said that he’s looking forward to collaborating with directors who would give him creative challenges. VD was quoted saying, “When you are part of a big-budget commercial film, it is only natural that the pressure is huge and we all want to play safe to recover the investment. But that at times could stop my growth as an actor, as a performer. When I worked with Soojit da in ‘October’ and Sriram sir in ‘Badlapur’ they helped me to discover a side of me as an actor that I did not know; it was challenging and they pushed me to extract something different.”
“When we are working on a content-heavy film, we take the liberty of doing more experimental work. If it is a comparatively smaller budget film, the risk is lesser. I am always trying to balance that. Having said that, I am also aware that if I am becoming part of any film, chances are, that critics and trade analysts would think it’s a commercial film and they would expect a certain number from it. Not all films are for number games, some are small, beautiful heartwarming. ‘October’ was that,” added the actor further.
In terms of work, Varun Dhawan has an interesting lineup of films. The actor will next has Amar Kaushik’s Bhediya opposite Kriti Sanon and Bawaal opposite Janhvi Kapoor in the pipeline.
