Did Varun Dhawan Just Ruin His Own Career?

When Varun Dhawan made his Bollywood debut back in 2012 with Student of the Year, many saw his potential and predicted he’d be in the industry for the long run.

However, 15 years later, the situation for Varun seems a little dire, with no one else to blame for this downfall except himself.

A social media post from 2021 has resurfaced on the internet, which suggests that Varun Dhawan was in talks with Mohit Suri for his next action-packed love story, which netizens now guess was Saiyaara.

The film is showing a lot of box office potential with a lot of hype around the storyline and characters.

While it’s now clear that Varun and Mohit didn’t go ahead with their partnership, fans on the internet have started a heated debate as to why Varun never chooses a script that has actual potential.

Some fans on the internet dug even deeper and found out what other good scripts Varun let go of to star in average films that had no serious impact on the box office as well as the audiences.

The post suggests that Varun rejected Andhadhun for October, Chhichhore for Sui Dhaga, and Saiyaara for his upcoming Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.

Varun’s hardcore fans were were very disappointed when this news broke out, criticizing him for giving up performances that could’ve solidified him as a major actor in the industry.

Some users pointed out that while Varun chose art films, his persona and acting prowess didn’t align with their concepts, eventually failing at the box office as well.

Some even joked that after Baby John it wouldn’t be completely shocking if he announced his retirement, considering most of his upcoming projects also lack the potential to be superhits or blockbusters.

His upcoming film, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, is set for an October 2nd release, caught amidst the clash of Ikkis and Kantara 2.

Trade analysts predict that this clash will prove to be a major setback for Varun considering the fact that both movies have pan-India potential.

It’s important for Varun to understand that if he continues to choose scripts that have no future just to prove himself, he risks lowering his value as a star who has the potential to do big-budget films.
