Koffee With Karan 7 Episode 11: Who is Varun Dhawan's biggest competition in Bollywood? Actor reveals

Week after week, Koffee With Karan Season 7 on Disney+ Hotstar is bringing audiences closer to the secrets of celebs. Anil Kapoor, a legendary and talented actor, and Varun Dhawan, a box office darling, keep viewers engaged with discussions about marriage, love, and industry competitiveness in the eleventh episode. The pair demonstrate how being "filmi" is what best distinguishes them by producing laughter in droves.

The face of the new generation in Bollywood and one of the youngest members of the exclusive Rs 100 Cr club, Varun Dhawan, explained why actors aren't the only ones in competition with him. The actor claimed that the only person he feels evenly competitive with is Alia Bhatt. As a society, they must begin to recognise the possibility that female protagonists can be more than just supporting characters. As a male actor, Varun draws inspiration from Alia's successful major openings and hopes to follow in her footsteps.

Varun demonstrated why he is the new face of Bollywood in this episode of fun, humour, and entertainment by touching on subjects that other A-listers in business have never ventured into.

Alia and Varun have worked together in several movies and are touted as one of the most popular on-screen couples in Bollywood. Their movie outings include Student of the Year (2012), Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017), and Kalank (2019).

Meanwhile, on the work front, Varun will next be seen in Bhediya opposite Kriti Sanon. The film is directed by Amar Kaushik and is slated for release on November 25, 2022. He also has the Nitish Tiwari-directed Bawaal opposite Janhvi Kapoor.

Whereas Alia is currently riding high on the success of her latest fantasy drama, Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva. The film features Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role and is directed by Ayan Mukerji. She will next be seen in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani opposite Ranveer Singh.
