Varun Dhawan denies being offered ‘Dhyan Chand’ biopic

Varun Dhawan had clearly denied being offered ‘Dhyan Chand’. There were reports sometime back that Varun Dhawan will be a part of a biopic on the hockey legend ‘Dhyan Chand’.

Rumours suggested that producers Pooja Shetty and Aarti Shetty along with Karan Johar were helming the project, and they had approached Varun Dhawan for it. Although,Varun has denied being offered the movie.

Here’s what he was quoted saying to a leading daily,

‘I have not been offered ‘Dhyan Chand’. I know it’s the current trend to do biopics, but it’s not something that excites me right now. I have been offered biopics but nothing that I can go crazy about and accept. If something interesting comes, I might think of doing it, but as of now I am just happy with the kind of films I am doing.”

Speaking about his current projects, “My next film ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya’ is a biopic for me. I am playing a boy from Jhansi. Director Shashank Khaitan has drawn this character very realistically and that’s the way he shoots it, too. I try to do every film of mine like a biopic. In ‘Dishoom’, I play Junaid Ansari who is probably some boy whose parents live in India but then he has to shift and live there.”
