News Mania Desk / Piyal Chatterjee / 20th December 2024
Varun Dhawan made his Bollywood debut more than a decade ago. In a recent interview, the actor stated that Bollywood is in desperate need of innovation. He shared his worries, questioning if individuals in positions of authority genuinely understand the urgency.During the interview, he also stated that superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan understand how things have evolved.During a podcast interview with Ranveer Allahabadia, Varun discussed the Bollywood industry, emphasizing the importance of additional voices entering the field. He explained that those in positions of authority must reinvent themselves.
“We will all have to go ahead. People who are in the powerful positions right now, there is an age limit, those who are doing the same thing for years. They are only at the helm. I am not sure if they recognise it but it is important to change with time. We all will have to do it or we’ll lose relevance, including me. It is difficult because you don’t want to change,” he said.
He added, “The upcoming stars or the ones who are still aspiring have these circles but those who are already on that stature, they don’t have these people around them. Stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, they are not delulu (delusional). They are aware of what’s happening”.
Varun feels there is a need for diverse representation in the industry. He wondered why it is not happening these days, saying entering the film industry has become “a bit tough” as people have many options to explore and decide whether they want to become an actor or an influencer or go the OTT way.
