On his part, Varun said how he went after the Yash Raj head to make an action film with him or with other new-age stars, but the producer did not want to take the risk. Varun reveals that it was during the making of Tiger, and he is grateful to Raj & DK, and Atlee for understanding his action talent.
While referring to the fact that the southern film industry is recognising his talent, Varun said, “The reason I am saying is that during lockdown, I remember I met Aditya Chopra. He and Maneesh (Sharma) were making Tiger 3 (which starred Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif) at the time. I asked him, ‘Sir, why don’t you make an action film with younger talent.’ I kept pursuing him”.
Varun added that, after his persuasion, Aditya Chopra replied, “Listen, I can’t do that because I give you that budget right now. You’re not at that place where I can give you such a big budget. I texted him and asked him what the budget was. He gave me a figure and said "this is the budget to make something big in action”.
A visibly excited and happy Varun Dhawan also went on to reveal that, “I remember when this opportunity came, I even asked Raj & DK and Amazon about the budget because I am getting this knowledge from Aditya Chopra. I am really grateful to Raj & DK and Amazon for giving me this opportunity”.
As for Citadel: Honey Bunny, besides Varun Dhawan (who plays the role of Bunny), it stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu as the leading lady and in the role of Honey. Besides this ‘action-packed’ on screen duo, the gripping series also stars Emma Canning, Sikandar Kher, Kay Kay Menon, Simran Bagga, and Saqib Saleem in all important roles.
