Varun Dhawan's latest comedy Coolie No. 1, which was the remake of the 1995 film by the same name, was recently released on OTT platform and the audience were in two minds. While some found it entertaining, some brutally criticised the film calling it a bad rip-off of the Govinda starrer. However, despite facing heavy criticism for doing massy films, Varun says that it is his target audience and he enjoys doing the genre.
"Yes. Obviously I do enjoy mass films a lot. I think I have a blast when I do them. It's difficult to do and it is larger than life, and you need to have immense conviction while doing them. I enjoy it. For me, making a film is about trying to please everyone but obviously the kind of reaction that you get from the common man is the most important thing," Varun told IANS.
He further added, "My house is in Juhu. I have grown up pretty much opposite Juhu beach. So, that is my audience. I can be fake and try and be cool now because my film is on OTT. But that (the masses) is my audience and that is who I work for. Anyone who says, 'oh you are uncool because you are doing a massy film', (my reaction would be) 'Okay, I am uncool and I don't care'."
From his career graph so far, it would seem like Varun's ambition is to be a mass hero. Ever since his debut in 2012, Varun has entertained with his dance skills and youthful glamour in films such as Judwaa 2, ABCD 2, Street Dancer 3D, Humpty Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Student Of The Year and Main Tera Hero. He has also shown impressive acting chops in Badlapur, October and Sui Dhaaga.
The 33-year-old actor had tested Covid positive on the set of his upcoming film Jug Jugg Jeeyo, along with co-star Neetu Kapoor and the film's director Raj Mehta. The trio is now doing fine and Varun recently wrapped up shooting for the film in Chandigarh.
