Varun Dhawan will do movies with a message

Varun Dhawan absolutely loves his newfound stardom, and is determined to keep it intact. With Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya giving his career a much needed boost, he now looks to bag projects with a purpose behind them.

Explains Varun, “Doing entertaining films is of course my main concern and target. But I also want a message to be delivered through my movie — nothing preachy or sermonising. Still, there should be something that the audience can take home and think about.”

To this end, Varun is treading very carefully with the films he does. “So far I’ve agreed to do only one film after Badrinath, and that’s Shoojit Sircar’s next. There’s also my father’s (director David Dhawan’s) film, Judwaa 2. That’s about it for now.”

The kids seem to love Varun, and he’s aware of it. “I think there’s a connect with family audiences. If they didn’t like what I was doing, my films wouldn’t work.”
