The actor, whose last film “JuggJug Jeeyo” was a success, said he is enjoying the current phase and is looking forward to the release of his upcoming horror comedy “Bhediya”.
“I have always kept an ear out to hear what the audience is trying to tell me. It isn’t that I have done superb work in every film… I am always trying to grow. There was a time when I had thought arrogantly. That everything is going fine, so why should I even care what someone is saying?
“Now, I think I am more responsible… Right now, I want to enjoy the success ‘Bhediya’ will bring, what ‘Jugjugg Jeeyo’ brought. Because I heard the audience, I did a film like ‘Bhediya’, worked with a filmmaker like Amar, a producer like Dinesh,” Varun told reporters at the “Bhediya” trailer launch here.
Directed by Amar Kaushik of “Stree” fame, “Bhediya” follows Bhaskar (Varun), who transforms into a werewolf on every full moon night after he is bitten by a mythical wolf. Dinesh Vijan of Maddock Films has produced the movie, which is slated to be released on November 25.
The upcoming film will be a visual treat for the audience, said Varun.
“I feel as Indian cinema, we are ready for this and we won’t settle for less,” he added.
The actor also quipped he has been part of films that had “cringe worthy” VFX but lied about their quality during film promotions.
“When I look back, I can see there have been cringe worthy moments in the VFX. But I was not the one who did the VFX. As an actor, I can try and work with directors and producers who can bring about that change,” he said.
“Bhediya” is the third offering in Vijan’s horror-comedy universe after “Stree” (2018) and “Roohi” (2020).
While the film promises well-executed visuals, Kaushik said he didn’t seek any inspiration from Hollywood to create the world of “Bhediya”.
