Varun Dhawan: Now I just want to do crowd-entertainers and massy films

Varun Dhawan is a young Bollywood star who has already appeared in characters with different shades to them. While his colourful and peppy roles have always entertained fans, he has also done more serious roles in his career. The actor has now talked about the kind of movies that he wants to work with. 

In an interview with Times of India, the actor said, “I think now everyone wants to do pan-India films. I believe if we create good, fun, non-preachy content, it could work. My current release has given me a lot of confidence. Now, I just want to do crowd-entertainers and massy films.”

He added that he feels that working with directors such as Shoojit Sarkar, Nitesh Tiwari and Sriram Raghavan has helped him grow and that sometimes, one needs to do large-scale entertainers like Bhediya, where they will also get to perform. Bhediya, a horror comedy directed by Amar Kaushik, is one of the movies the actor has in his kitty.

The actor also said that he believes that we cannot let go of our culture, emotions and roots in our movies and that he is glad that young filmmakers such as Raj Mehta understand how to weave elements such as music into movies. 

Varun Dhawan was last seen in Raj Mehta’s Jugjugg Jeeyo, which was released in June. The movie received good reviews following its release and also had a very good run at the box office, going past the Rs. 100 crore mark worldwide. Also starring Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor in the lead, the movie is available to stream on Prime Video. 

Apart from Bhediya, Varun Dhawan is also working on Nitesh Tiwari’s Bawaal co-starring Janhvi Kapoor in the lead role.
