Varun Dhawan has steadily created a name for himself in the Hindi film industry with his outstanding performances in movies such as October, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badlapur, Bhediya, Bawaal, and others. He has indeed cemented his reputation as a powerful performer, but the industry is not without competition. In a recent interview, the actor revealed how he remains unfazed by the constant pressure of proving himself and joining the “Rat race” to become the best actor in Bollywood.
In a conversation with ETimes, Varun Dhawan shared, “I have actually stopped thinking about the rat race. I’m very happy where I am. It is not that I don’t have aspirations, I have major aspirations and inspirations to reach somewhere, but I’ve realized that I want to keep them to myself, till I have achieved them.”
Meanwhile, the actor is quite excited about the cricket World Cup series this year. He told ETimes that he has his hands on the coveted India vs. Pakistan match in Ahmedabad. But he added that he has not sorted out his stay as of now. Sharing about his love for the game, he said, “I’m definitely a batsman and when it comes to the underarm, I’l bowl a bit. But I’m just a regular Indian boy who loves playing cricket.” When asked if he would play a cricketer in any biographical film, Varun said, “I’m very nervous to do a biopic of a cricketer. I love the game so much, I don’t want to get it right only synthetically. If I do then I will need to give it 3-4 years and only do that.”
Further, he also praised actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s role in MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, Varun said, “I think it was one of the best biopics made and the way Sushant (Singh Rajput) played the role was really great.”
Varun Dhawan is now filming VD18, which is being directed by Jawan director Atlee Kumar. He will also be entering the OTT arena with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in Citadel, an Indian spin-off of the American TV programme of the same name. Raj and DK, the directors of The Family Man, will direct the Indian adaptation of Citadel. This is an espionage action series created by AGBO under the Russo brothers. The main characters in the original series were played by Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
