After playing a fulfilled guy on the screen, Varun Dhawan has shifted to a darker role with his forthcoming film “Badlapur”. He is confident the audience would accept him in his new avatar and adds that it is unwise to doubt viewers’ intelligence.
Known for being part of youth-centric money-spinners like “Student Of The Year” and “Main Tera Hero”, Varun enters a darker territory with “Badlapur”, which is loaded with violence.
Set in the year 2000, the revenge saga would see Varun getting violent and killing people and he is impressive in his in act, as far as the trailer shows.
Varun will get ample support from Huma Quershi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who are playing prominent characters in “Badlapur”.
As for his preparation for the role, Varun’s mother feels he got so deeply involved with his character while shooting for “Badlapur” that she started feeling he was not her son.
When asked if he took his character home, she said: “If he had a knife, he would have first stabbed me. It was a change in his personality I was scared about, but I believe that was for the best.”
