Sui Dhaga Will Be Varun Dhawan’s Last De-Glam Role For A while

2018 will be  one of  Varun Dhawan’s most creatively satisfying years since  his arrival  in Bollywood. Shoojit Sircar’s October fetched him the best reviews  of his career. Sharat Kataria’s  Sui Dhaaga which releases in October is guaranteed  to take Varun to another histrionic  peak.

But will Sui Dhaaga a   film about the common man’s common dreams, as steeeped in naturalism as Kataria’s debut film Dum Lagake  Haisha,  get the  boxoffice figures that Varun’s  big blockbusters such Badarinath Ki Dulhaniya and Judwaa 2   obtained?

Chances are Sui Dhaaga  will remains  a lowkey earner, just like October, making this Varun’s most creatively satisfying year  but also the weakest  year in terms  of  boxoffice.

While Varun is  all for doing unorthodox roles his  father  the  blockbuster machine  David Dhawan  feels the  numbers are  vital to an actor’s career.

Says  David, “I’m very proud of what Varun has done in  October and  Sui Dhaaga this  year. But boxoffice success is very  important. It is only  when a film like Judwaa 2  earns the big bucks

that  Varun  becomes empowered to do the kind of classy work he has done in 2018.”

Chances are, Varun will now   cut down on the classy and  plunge into the  massy.

Says a source very close  to Varun, “He had  decided to  do  one non-mainstream film every year. But in  2018 he did two  offbeat  films. So Varun won’t be  doing any non-mainstream films  next year.”
