Varun Dhawan will be seen in an action avatar in his upcoming films. Recently, the trailer of his film ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ has been released. During the trailer launch, the actor recalled that filmmaker Aditya Chopra refused to cast him in an action film due to budget constraints. Varun also revealed that only South Indians were recognizing his potential in the action genre.
Varun Dhawan said during the trailer launch event, ‘Right now, I think only South Indians are noticing me and giving me great opportunities in action.’ Varun is working with Raj & DK and actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu in ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’, after which he will gear up for ‘Baby John’ with Atlee and Keerthy Suresh. Varun Dhawan hopes that other people in the industry will also notice him.
Varun said during the conversation that he was in constant touch with Aditya Chopra and he told him, ‘I can’t do this because I can’t give you that budget right now. You are not in a position to give you such a big budget.’ The actor further said that he messaged Chopra and asked what the budget was? Varun said that in response he got a figure that was necessary to make a big action film.
Expressed gratitude for ‘Citadel’
He expressed his gratitude to Amazon and Raj & DK for giving him the opportunity in ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’. The film is going to be released on Amazon Prime Video on 7 November.
