Needed film like 'October' at this point in career: Varun
Mumbai

Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan says his upcoming film "October"
came as a much-needed opportunity in his film career.
At the film's
trailer launch here on Monday, Varun said: "I was the last person cast in the
film after meeting Shoojit Sircar. I think casting should happen that way... Not
because one actor is doing good in films. When I heard the story, I was so moved
by it that I felt the need of doing the film.
"I need the film more than
anyone else in the room at this point of time in my career."
"October"
promises a unique love story.
"When I sign a film, I look at the script
more than anything, and how much the maker is putting in the film. In 'October'
Shoojitda, writer Juhi Chaturvedi and every one of our crew members put their
heart and soul in it. I had to be a part of this film. They signed me for the
film even before 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' and 'Judwaa 2'," Varun said.
Besides being an emotional journey for him, the film turned out to be a learning
experience for Varun.
"Dada (Shoojit) asked me what do I do when I wake
up. I said, 'As usual, I check my phone, I post things on social media'. Then he
asked me not to do that, and instead observe a plant for 10 minutes. I started
doing that and felt a huge change. I unlearned a lot... It was a very different
experience," Varun said.
"October" is releasing on April 13.
