“I do not want to be typecast,” Varun told IANS.
“Whether it’s going to be a Hindi film, a commercial film, an art film, or whatever… Whatever role I do should entertain people and that’s what I set out to do. As a person, I cannot stay on one movie for very long and if I do a very serious film, I need to do a comedy film.”
