Varun Dhawan: Hit Parade

Nothing turns heads like an actor who’s big at the box-office. Varun Dhawan is turning a lot of heads these days. This is what happens when you have a string of hits. All his five films have done decently at the box-office. Badlapur brought in critical acclaim and his last one ABCD2 got the whopping numbers at ticket windows. Clued in showbiz types, noticed him in his debut movie Student Of The Year. And they predicted big things for him. Well, he’s proved them right. But Varun isn’t the one to rest on his laurels. Most actors celebrate their success by popping champagne, Varun on the other hand is on the look out for yet another challenging role. If his upcoming movies are any indication, his career trajectory is set to take a steep upward turn. At least that’s what the pundits claim. And they know best, don’t they? In a freewheeling conversation, the actor talks about what it means to be Varun Dhawan at this point in time. Read on...

The recent Filmfare poll listed you as the next superstar.

Ya. And I’m truly grateful for it. But I believe it’s the women who’re rocking it right now. There’s been talk on pay equality and the fact that it cannot happen in India because it’s a male chauvinist country. But with Kangana Ranaut’s and Deepika Padukone’s performances this year, we aren’t far away from that. Kangana and Deepika are leading that change. And it’s not just about performance. You have to back it up with business. And they have done that. The trend started last year with films like Highway, Queen and Finding Fanny and NH-10 this year.

What have you learnt about yourself as an actor? Are you a method actor or a spontaneous one?
