Actor Varun Dhawan, who has scored a critically-acclaimed performance in Badlapur, believes that audiences these days want realistic cinema and “not a lot of fantasy” — something that Bollywood movies are known for. “Right now, I feel the people want some other type of cinema. Some more thrill, something a little bit more realistic, not a lot of fantasy,” said Varun, whose role of a grieving family man seeking to avenge the death of his wife and child in Badlapur met with appreciation.
The Main Tera Hero actor feels it’s a great time to be in the industry. “The time is now... the things that we were talking about five years back, saying to ourselves, ‘This should be done in Hindi cinema’.. that time has come now. The youth today have started accepting new ideas; people have become broadminded,” he added.
The 27-year-old actor’s next film is ABCD 2, which also stars Shraddha Kapoor. It will release on June 26. He is now busy shooting for Rohit Shetty’s directorial Dilwale, which stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
