Varun Dhawan: I also want to do what the Khan’s do so wonderfully

Varun Dhawan is one of the best entertainers out of the current lot of Bollywood actors. Barring ‘Badlapur’, the actor has done mostly ‘masala’ films because he feels that’s the kind of cinema everyone can watch.

Talking about his choice of films Varun said, “It is a conscious decision for me (to do masala films). We need our films to do well. And commercial films don't only mean masala. Commercial films also mean that they are films that everyone in the country can watch - people in Bihar can watch it, people in Maharashtra can watch it, people all over the country can watch it."

He continued, “Sometimes we forget that in our country there are so many other people who are living and might have different preferences. I am just trying to make that attempt which I think the Khans do wonderfully; they make films for the entire country. Also, Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan. My attempt is to make a film which everyone can enjoy."

Varun’s fourth film, ‘Badlapur’, was a thriller and the actor accepted that for him it was a step out of his comfort zone. When asked if he would like to do more films of the same genre, the actor said, “100 per cent. In fact, by the end of the year, there will be a surprise."

Varun is all set to start shooting for ‘Judwaa 2’ alongside Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu, which goes on floors next week. He is also gearing up for the release of ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ alongside Alia Bhatt, which will hit the theatres on 10th March.
