I don't want to be typecast: Varun Dhawan
New Delhi
March 28, 2017
Actor Varun Dhawan, who made his Bollywood debut with an out-and-out
commercial film "Student of the Year" and has experimented with a serious avatar
in "Badlapur" and in the upcoming "October", says he is not open to the idea of
being typecast.
"I do not want to be typecast," Varun told IANS.
"Whether it's going to be a Hindi film, a commercial film, an art film, or
whatever... Whatever role I do should entertain people and that's what I set out
to do. As a person, I cannot stay on one movie for very long and if I do a very
serious film, I need to do a comedy film.
"So I get into another film
which is like 'October', offering a different tone and talking about different
kind of love," the 30-year-old added in an email interview.
The actor is
currently in the national capital to shoot his new film "Sui Dhaaga". On
Wednesday, he took time out of his current shooting schedule to launch "Tab bhi
tu" for "October", which is directed by Shoojit Sircar and also stars newcomer
Banita Sandhu.
Co-produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar, "October",
releasing on April 13, celebrates love, nature and the autumn season.
Varun's last few films, including "Judwaa 2" and "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" did
good business at the box office. How does he maintain his calm when a film
either becomes a hit or a flop.
"Once the film releases, I am the
happiest. I am the happiest while shooting the films and even during the
marketing of the film. When the film releases, people talk about it and put you
on a high and you enjoy that phase, but it's not only about that.
"It is
not about receiving a place. I mean I obviously want people to like it and enjoy
the film and I hope that the filmmaker's dream and his vision and message can
reach people," said Varun, who is the youngest Bollywood celebrity to have a wax
figure at Hong Kong's Madame Tussauds.
