EXCLUSIVE: I Don't Know How Long, Can I Keep Being Successful - Varun Dhawan on his 7th Box Office Hit
Varun Dhawan is in a happy phase currently as far as his professional life is concerned. His latest release Dishoom is doing well at the ticket window and has become the 7th consecutive hit of his career.
With this, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Varun is indeed one of the most bankable stars from the current crop of actors. Ask him about it and he says, "Honestly, it is the 7th hit, but I realize that only when I speak to the media. But it is just 7th because it is easy to keep a count of my films (laughs). Next when I do it will be 8th and then 9th, 10th and so on. But I don't know how long can I keep being successful. Lot of people before watching Dishoom felt that it is not possible that this one will run away smoothly and many thought that now I will fail. But I don't want to concentrate on negativity. And it is not surprising to see some people feel this negativity because someone having a consecutive 7th hit, is rare. But for me, the fact that people are liking it is more important. The money the film is making isn't coming to me. But the love and admiration comes to me and post the release it has increased. That is my victory."
The film has opened to mixed reviews. Quiz Varun if this response was anticipated and the star admits, "When I saw the film, I knew people will like it and they will enjoy it. It is a good film in the commercial zone. I never thought we would get such good reviews. We got three stars from some of the tough critics. That was a big surprise for me. The day it was raining so much, people went out and saw the film. And that means the world to me."
Given that the response to the movie is positive, do we see a sequel happening anytime soon?
"It is too early to talk about it. That is something which Sajid Nadiadwala and Rohit Dhawan can decide. But I will definitely be game to come back as Junaid Ansari. May be not now, but after a couple of years with a bigger case," reveals Varun, adding further, "We have definitely spoken about Dishoom 2. But obviously we needed this film to do well before we could go bigger with it. Now that we have got the thumbs up, Dishoom 2 could happen sometime in the future."
