upcoming movie October today. The movie
directed by Shoojit Sircar also stars Banita
Sandhu in the lead role.
Varun, who was present at the trailer launch
today, got candid about working with
Sircar.
In one of the most candid confessions,
Varun admitted that he was eager to work
with Shoojit da and was jealous of
Ayushmann Khurrana when he did Vicky
Donor.
"I always wanted to work with Shoojit
Sircar. I remember being jealous of
Ayushmann Khurrana when he did Vicky
Donor," he said when asked if, after movies
like Judwaa 2, this is a different genre for
him.
When asked if he thought October is a risk
given that his last movies were
BLOCKBUSTERS. To this, Varun answered
earnestly, "I always look at films like this a
good film or a bad film. I don't believe that
this is a big film and cost of production will
be high so it will earn huge. It is always a
story, I always look that the people I work
with, how much of themselves are they
putting into the film."
"I can tell with certainty that Shoojit da and
Juhi (Chaturvedi) has put everything they
could, their personal experiences their love,
their passion for cinema into this film. I was
cast last in the movie, first Banita was cast
then I was cast and that is how it should be.
It shouldn't be like a person should be cast
just because his movies are working. He cast
me into this film before Badri or Judwaa
released. I literally chased him like I said,"
Varun added.
The actor also said that he never faced any
issues with filmmakers when it comes to
fees. He said, "Maine toh
kabhi yeh face nahi kiya hai problem jab bhi
main film karta hoon (I never faced this
problem when I work in a film). I want to
look that everyone is safe; the producers are
also happy making the film and then you
can go ahead."
October releases on April 13, 2018.
