Varun Dhawan has made his own way in the Bollywood industry and has proved his worth. He has shown his versatility and did movies belonging to different genres. Lately, he spoke about his emotional depth and ability to do such roles too.

Varun Dhawan who will be seen in Kalank, has some confession to make. Having started his career in 2010 as an assistant director with the film “My Name Is Khan”, Varun Dhawan has come a long way with his popularity. With films such as “Badrinath Ki Dulhania”, “Badlapur”, “Judwaa 2”, “October” and “Sui Dhaaga”, he has also proven his versatility.

Now he is ready for a multi-starrer like “Kalank”, produced by Karan Johar and directed by Abhishek Verman. Kalank is set to hit the theatres on April 17.”When on one side I was doing ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, I also did a ‘Badlapur’ and ‘October’. So people understood that if I am working with the right director, with different material, I can perform something that requires emotional depth,” he added.

His performance in the film “October” was highly appreciated by critics. Varun said he wants to get more such opportunities to learn some important lessons in life.”There is a huge change that has happened in the last 10 years of my career in terms of roles that I am offered. When I debuted in ‘Student Of the Year’, I do not think that anybody would have imagined that I am capable of playing a character like Zafar of ‘Kalank.

“But I do not blame anyone also because I was too young. People didn’t think that I have emotional depth as an actor. That’s when I believe that with success, we not only earn fans but the confidence to experiment.

“That film was a big lesson of honesty. Meeting my calmer side through it. I want to utilise that honesty in my characters and in my commercial work. Perhaps that is how I will find the balance,” he said.”I think more than all of us, Karan is feeling the pressure. It is a very special film for him because it was the dream of Yash uncle to make the film.

So, on one hand, it is his father’s vision that is coming true, and on another, after ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…’, he is coming up with such a huge multi-starrer. Of course, we are on the poster of the film so people are thinking we are feeling the pressure, but I think its Karan,” Varun said.
