Varun Dhawan finally opens up on being criticised for doing massy films

Varun Dhawan is one of the most successful actors of his generation. He has delivered back-to-back hits and has been one of the most sought after actors in the industry. However, Varun’s last release ‘Coolie No 1’ failed to live up to everyone’s expectations. The film was mostly criticised by the critics.

Varun recently opened up about the criticism he has received for doing massy films. The actor straightforwardly said that he doesn’t care if a section of people finds him uncool for doing massy films.

During a recent interview with IANS, Varun speaking about commercial films said, “Obviously I do enjoy mass films a lot. I think I have a blast when I do them. It’s difficult to do and it is larger than life, and you need to have immense conviction while doing them. I enjoy it. For me, making a film is about trying to please everyone but obviously, the kind of reaction that you get from the common man is the most important thing.”

The actor went on to add, “”My house is in Juhu. I have grown up pretty much opposite Juhu beach. So, that is my audience. I can be fake and try and be cool now because my film is on OTT. But that (the masses) is my audience and that is who I work for. Anyone who says, ‘oh you are uncool because you are doing a massy film’, (my reaction would be) ‘Okay, I am uncool and I don’t care’.” 

‘Coolie No 1’ was helmed by David Dhawan. Its a remake of 1995 film of the same name starring Govinda and Karisma Kapoor. Apart from Varun the film also stars Sara Ali Khan, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Javed Jaffrey. Next, Varun will be seen in Raj Mehta’s ‘Jugg Jug Jeeyo’.
