Varun Dhawan's Journey to Action Film Roles

Varun Dhawan revealed his persistent efforts to convince producer Aditya Chopra to cast him in a big-budget action film, which Chopra declined due to budgetary concerns and Dhawan's readiness. During the lockdown, Dhawan approached Chopra while he was working on 'Tiger 3', questioning why younger actors weren't being considered for action roles. This experience informed Dhawan's approach to future projects, such as the Amazon Prime series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny', where he inquired about the budget to ensure it met high-quality production standards. Dhawan expressed gratitude towards directors Raj & DK and Amazon for providing the necessary platform and budget. He also acknowledged the South Indian film industry's recognition of his action potential and hopes Bollywood takes notice of his capabilities.
