Varun Dhawan Doubted Himself When Karan Johar Didn’t Cast Him In Films

Varun Dhawan revealed he had doubted his abilities when Karan Johar didn’t cast him in his films.

Varun Dhawan graced the Koffee With Karan 7 chat show along with his Jug Jugg Jeeyo co-star Anil Kapoor. In the 11th episode, the duo had a fun conversation regarding marriage, relationships, and their work life in the industry. During the course of their conversation, Varun Dhawan revealed he had doubted his abilities when Karan Johar didn’t cast him in his films. 

The actor has delivered great films so far in 10 years of his career. Varun Dhawan started his acting journey with Karan Johar film Student Of The Year that released in 2012. The actor continued to work with Dharma Productions in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Kalank, and Jug Jugg Jeyyo. There was a long time when KJo stopped casting him in his films and this made Varun doubt his abilities.

During a chat with the filmmaker, Coolie No. 1 actor revealed his thoughts when he didn’t get an opportunity to be a part of Dharma movies. He said, “It definitely made me think, am I slipping in my game? Have I not created that right body of work or image as an actor for Karan to consider me in his films? Sometimes it was also along the lines of why Karan thinks I can’t do these roles. For me, it is more in terms of introspection of my competencies. It never leads to me feeling envious or defeated by your selection. I take it as an opportunity to analyze where I can possibly improve,”

On the work front, after the massive success of Jug Jugg Jeeyo, Varun Dhawan has a good lineup of forthcoming projects. Varun Dhawan will be seen in Bhediya alongside Kriti Sanon. He will feature in Bawaal with Janhvi Kapoor. He is also a part of Shashank Khaitan’s Ranbhoomi, which is said to be shelved.
