The intent must always be clean: Varun

Coming up in 2020: Street Dancer 3D and Coolie No. 1

The new year will see you in an out-and-out entertaining space…

I am very excited about 2020. But at the same time, I strongly believe that at the end of the day, everything can’t just be about your films. That can’t define your entire life, journey or how you feel about yourself. As a human being, you grow and learn to do other things as well that give you happiness. 2019, too, was very exciting as

I was shooting for two of my films. So, mujhe bahut mazaa aaya ke maine yeh do filmein pichle saal shoot kari, which will release this year. Now, I just hope that audiences love them as well.

After Kalank’s failure last year, do you feel any pressure about your upcoming films?

An outcome can’t always be the barometer of your success. I strongly feel that the journey of a film, too, has to be superb. I don’t think anyone knows ke [ek film] ka kya outcome hone waala hai. There’s no formula at all when it comes to art; there has to only be passion.

In essence, you are saying that the intent must be correct. Right?

Jab aapki niyat sahi ho toh sab kucch sahi ho jaata hai. I feel the intent has to be absolutely correct. And I can confidently say that Street Dancer 3D and

Coolie No. 1 have been made with sahi niyat. To start with,

I’ve huge expectations from Street Dancer. Anything you do with sheer passion, can make a big difference.

2020 will also see you work with your dad in the remake of an iconic film, Coolie No. 1 (1995). Excited?

Absolutely! I really wanted to do a massy film after Judwaa 2 (2017). And working on an outand-out commercial movie with dad is fantastic. He is the captain of the ship, who makes us have the most fun. Like Coolie No. 1, Street Dancer 3D too is an extremely massy film.
