“I had always wanted to do a thriller but I guess no one thought that I could ever pull it off. Badlapur offered me the chance to experiment with the genre which I enjoy watching,” said Varun.
Varun, who made his debut in Bollywood with Karan Johar’s Student of the Year, has featured in films like Main Tera Hero and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.
Regarding his transformation from a romantic hero to an action hero, Varun said: “Well, Badlapur did transform me. I never looked at the role as the hero’s, but just prepared for Raghu’s role. I felt his pain. He is as flawed as any other human being.”
“SriramRaghavan (director of Badlapur) is a mad genius who keeps looking to push the envelope and do something new. I am very lucky to have worked with a director like him so early in my career,” said Varun.
