Varun Dhawan launched the trailer of his upcoming movie 'October' just yesterday on Monday and the film, directed by Shoojit Sircar also stars Banita Sandhu in the lead role. Varun has proven himself to be a rather versatile entertainer and there is no doubt that he can be considered one of today's top leading actors in Bollywood.
During the trailer launch, Varun admitted that an actor's world can sometimes feel ‘fake’. On this, he said, "One thing about actors which people don't know that the world sometimes starts feeling very fake because someone else brings you clothes, someone else does your hair, make up and then you're polished and pushed in the front like a product. But that is not Varun. I'm beneath all of this (the image)." When a journalist asked Varun if he thought 'October' is a risk given that his last movies were true blockbusters, he said, "I always look at films like this a good film or a bad film. I don't believe that this is a big film and cost of production will be high so it will earn huge. It is always a story, I always look that the people I work with, how much of themselves are they putting into the film."
"I can tell with certainty that Shoojit da and Juhi (Chaturvedi) have put everything they could, their personal experiences their love, their passion for cinema into this film. I was cast last in the movie, first Banita was cast then I was cast and that is how it should be. It shouldn't be like a person should be cast just because his movies are working. He cast me into this film before 'Badri' or 'Judwaa' released. I literally chased him like I said," Varun added.
