Thankfully my films are really different from each other: VARUN

Varun Dhawan has had his hands quite full. While the actor is busy promoting his upcoming release ABCD 2, he has yet another one already lined up for December this year.

At a time when most actors take pride in signing up limited number of films, why does Varun prefer to ditch the trend? "I feel if an opportunity comes your way, you should not let it go. I've been blessed to get the kind of films I've done. I did Badlapur (it released earlier this year), and my next, ABCD2, is a dance film. So, it's as diverse as it can get," says the actor, adding that he likes to experiment because he doesn't want to "bore the audience."

"Overexposure can affect an actor negatively if one keeps repeating oneself. Thankfully, my films are really different from each other," adds Varun.

While the actor is enjoying his current phase professionally, he regrets not being able to spend enough time with family. "My parents are my world. But with the amount of work I have right now, I have not been able to spend enough time with them. That troubles me a bit. But all I'm looking at doing now is ensuring that my parents have a comfortable life, because they have worked very hard to give that kind of a life to my brother (Rohit Dhawan; director) and me," says Varun.

The actor adds that he wishes to send his parents on a holiday, but can't. "My father never takes anything from us (both the sons). He refuses to take any gift, so it's quite a task," explains Varun Dhawan, who also wants to take a break and go on a vacation, but "doesn't have the time".

While he is excited about his upcoming film, Varun says that Badlapur is closest to his heart. "It will always be the most special film for me, as it got me a lot of acclaim. Many people called it a game-changer for me," says the actor, adding that unlike Badlapur, which was an A-rated movie, he would want his next to reach a wider audience.

Other than Badlapur, no the the other movies aren't that distinctly different. More importantly he's more or less playing the same type of characters, happy go lucky high energy fella who wants the girl (MTH, HSKD) or a singing or dancing career (STOY, ABCD2).

Am sure Varun loves his parents but the moment i read the IV, i couldn't help but think he brought it up only cos ABCD 2 is also about a boy fulfilling his mom's dreams 😆

I was going to comment on that but let it go in my post above 😆. I'm glad someone who doesn't dislike him brought it up. It's a pattern with him. And his father is David Dhawan. I doubt he'll ever be in a situation where he will need Varun or Rohan to take care of them financially. That was an eye roll moment.


He's fairly new and on a career high. But the minute he gives his first flop and goes through a low phase these things will get pushed to the forefront as a means to criticize him more.

Am still not sure if i like him..I don hate him for sure but am confused as to whether i actually like him 😆 Truth be told, am just enamored by his dancing..Its actually weird that i din notice him at all till i saw Sun Saathiya..That video did it for me 😆 And now i really really like Varun, the dancer..He is that good when he is dancing..Not sure if i like him as an actor though..And his off screen IVs are hilarious 😆 You have someone like Ranbir who exaggerates & calls his co-star everything from Nargis to Parveen Babi to ' best actress ever' while promoting his films & you have Varun who makes up his own story every time his film is up for release..They all have a pattern i guess 😆

He likes to relate his frame of mind to what is going on in his film 😆.. it's almost as if each film becomes a new learning curve/makes him think... I'll take this over link up stories though, it's less nauseating. There'll be plenty of that for Shuddhi 😆

Oh he's a great dancer for sure, no doubt there at all. I mentioned this in another thread a few days ago. I think his dancing is right up to par with Hrithik and Shahid. But other than dancing I don't think he has anything. I guess one person's comic relief is another person's annoyance 😆
