Varun Dhawan is one of the most successful actors of the current generation. The versatile actor, who started his career with the Karan Johar directorial Student Of The Year in 2012, has starred in over half a dozen films and all his outings have been tremendously successful at the box office.
As we all know that Dhawan will next be seen in Judwaa 2, which is a sequel to the blockbuster 1997 film Judwaa, directed by his father and renowned filmmaker David Dhawan. Taapsee Pannu and Jacqueline Fernandez are his leading ladies in the movie. The trailer of the film is out and has garnered an unprecedented response from the audience within hours of release.
Besides Judwaa 2, Varun Dhawan is also in news for another film with the award winning filmmaker Shoojit Sircar. Titled October, the movie is expected to mount floors in September and enter cinemas on June 1, next year. The latest update related to the project is that the makers have zeroed in on the leggy lass Deepika Padukone to play the female part in the movie.
Deepika Padukone has previously worked with Shoojit Sircar in Piku in 2015. The film remains one of the most critically and financially successful ventures of Padukone's career thus far. If she is really a part of October, we are sure the terrific combination of Varun Dhawan, Deepika Padukone and Shoojit Sircar will deliver another one-of-its-kind film.
We are waiting for an official announcement regarding Deepika's entry in the cast of October.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
