On Friday, the Bollywood star said since the beginning of his career, his aim has always been to entertain audiences. The actor, who debuted in Hindi film industry with Karan Johar's 2012 movie "Student of the Year, said he doesn't want to force-feed information to the viewers with his work. Since the time I became an actor, my aim has always been to entertain the audience."
"I don’t want to impart knowledge but make the audience enjoy a film (gyaan nahi batna par public ko enjoy karana hai)," the 35-year-old said.
Dhawan was speaking at the launch event of the song "Thumkeshwari" from Bhediya, which is part of producer Dinesh Vijan's horror-comedy universe, comprising Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor's “Stree” and “Roohi”, featuring Rao and Janhvi Kapoor.
It is directed by "Stree" helmer Amar Kaushik from a script by Niren Bhatt, best known for penning web-series “Asur”.
"‘Stree’ was a paisa vasool film and so is ‘Bhediya’ with top class VFX.Amar (director) has worked very hard. Hopefully, we will not let you down and you will feel proud. We want to bring the public to theatres," Dhawan said. ALSO READ: Did Siddharth CONFIRM dating Aditi Rao Hydari? Actor shares first picture with rumoured girlfriend
