October is Darker than Badlapur-Varun Dhawan

Varun Dhawan is one actor who we have seen in all kinds of roles, be it comedy, action, romance or portraying dark characters. We saw him shedding his chocolate boy image in Badlapur with his dark side which received a lot of appreciation from the fans and critics. And now with his next project October, looks like Varun is all set to embrace his grey side once again.

Talking about the film with a popular daily, Varun revealed, "Both these films might be in different spaces, but October isn't a light-hearted romantic film. It's heartbreaking and dark, probably more niche than Badlapur.

A source close to the makers of the film informed the daily, "This film is dark and he won't have any makeup. It's going to be very real. It's one of the things Varun likes about the film. Shoojit (Sircar) has designed his character really well.

Earlier, director Shoojit Sircar also spoke about October and said, "It is a genre that I have always wanted to delve in. While love and romance have been entwined with Indian cinema, there is abundance in that emotion that everyone can have their own interpretations of. Juhi Chaturvedi and I have always tried to create stories from the reflections of real life moments that we see around us. October is another effort to explore those moments out of simple situations of life.

Meanwhile, Varun who was quite excited to work with Shoojit Sircar all this while even shared his excitement on his social media handle earlier. He wrote, "I have been an ardent fan of Shoojit da's work and have always wanted to work with him. October is a beautiful story in which I play a character with many layers. It's a difficult character to play. I just want to surrender to my part and show people a new side of me. Shoojit da, Ronnie and Juhi have always made good cinema I feel I feel grateful to join their team.

October even marks the debut of Banita Sandhu who will be seen opposite Varun in the film. Meanwhile, film's starcast has already begun the initial preparation for the film.
