It took me 12 movies to prove my value for a movie like Kalank

Having started his career in 2010 as badistant 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 also proved his versatility.

He is now ready for a multi-movie like. Kalank produced by Karan Johar and directed by Abhishek Varman.

Has experience made him a better judge of the screenplay?

"There has been a tremendous change in the last 10 years of my career in terms of the roles that are offered to me.When I started in year student I do not think anyone would have imagined that I'm able to play a character like Kalank's Zafar It took me 12 films to prove my value and win the producers' confidence in order to budget a movie like Kalank "Varun told IANS in an interview here.

"But I do not blame anyone because I was too young.People did not think that I had emotional depth as an actor.C & # 39; At that moment I believe Ess, we win not only fans, but the self-confidence necessary to experiment.

"When I was making a film Badrinath Ki Dulhania I also made a Badlapur and October . So people understood that if I worked with the good director, with different material, I could play something that requires emotional depth, "he added.

His interpretation in the film October was much appreciated by critics. "Varun said he wanted to seize more opportunities to learn important lessons from life.

" This film was a great honesty lesson … Meet my quieter side through him … characters and in my commercial work. Maybe that's why I'll find the balance, "he said.

Kalank is released on April 17 and Varun says that more than distribution, Karan feels the pressure Since the film was made by the late father, Yash Johar

"I think that more than all of us, Karan feels the pressure. It's a very special film for him because it was Yash Uncle's dream to make the film. So, on the one hand, it is the vision of his father that is realized, and on the other hand, after Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham … he proposes such a multi-starrer system. Of course, we are on the movie poster and people think we feel the pressure, but I think that is Karan, "said Varun.

Kalank presents also Alia Bhatt, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sanjay Dutt and Kunal Kemmu, while the film was previously to be produced by Karan's father, Yash Johar, the cast was different

The character of Zafar, interpreted by Varun, had already been offered to Shah Rukh Khan.

Asked if this made him a little more cautious as an actor, Varun replied, "I do not think Shah Rukh has an emotional attachment with the role I play in Kalank because he was approached with other actors when the directors had initially decided to shoot the film.

"In fact, Kajol and Ajay Devgn were supposed to play the roles that Alia and Aditya now play, but things have not materialized yet."

Varun says a bit about his character: " Although playing with an arrogant person was not emotionally trying because I think there is an arrogance that we all have, but understanding the reason for his arrogance was interesting … that's why a young man always speaks to people who surround him.Also, it was physically exhausting.
