Varun Dhawan
Varun Dhawan is currently gearing up for the release of Abhishek Varman's Kalank. Varun agrees though there is pressure to live up to the viewers' expectations, at the same time it also gives him the confidence to constantly swim against the tide in his film choices. "It is difficult (to live up to the expectations) when you do something. And if it works, you have to keep defending that and live up to that name. 'Kalank' is a test... I feel responsible for this film. If it works, it will give me the confidence that I am on the right track," Varun said.
"I have always tried to swim against the tide like after 'Judwaa 2', I did 'October'. I always try to do something that gives me thrill artistically. If I am not enjoying the character that I am playing, then it will reflect on the screen. Luckily, in my case, the stuff that I am enjoying as an actor, even the audience has loved it. I have always tried to put myself in their shoes. I was an audience before I became an actor. I am a fan of cinema," said Varun.
It is the first major multi-starrer film of Varun's career which features A-listers such as Madhuri Dixit, Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur. Talking about working in a multi-starrer project, the actor said, "It is more interesting to do multi-starrers. I believe actors should be cast for their acting capabilities and not for their stardom. All the actors in the film suit the characters they are playing''.
