Varun Dhawan is currently busy with the release of his next film ‘Bhediya’. His film is knocking in theatres on November 25. Earlier, during an event, he said that South films are beating Hindi films at the box office and said that Bollywood should take a lesson from the success of Rishabh Shetty’s Kantara, Yash starrer Pan India films. KGF stars Yash and Kamal Haasan also made an appearance in this program.

Speaking at the India Today Conclave, Varun said, “I know this time is not going well for Bollywood, so it is easy for me to comment too. I always wanted to do films in Telugu and Tamil so Bhediya Telugu and Going to release in Tamil too. It’s a good time for producers, technicians and actors to come together.”

Varun even went on to say, “We should be happy that Indian films are making a splash across the world. Along with the box office, they have combined with India’s performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Team India is playing in the World Cup, where everyone is playing Indian, be it from South or North India.”

Taking his point further, Varun said, “We should learn from this that if a film has performed well abroad, be it Kantara, KGF 2 or Vikram, whatever film it is, it is Indian. We should take this thinking forward. So while concluding his point, Varun said – the audience is no longer ready to accept mediocre content.”

Varun’s film Bhediya is releasing on the big screen on 25 November 2022. Kriti Sanon, Deepak Dobriyal and Abhishek Banerjee have also played lead roles with him in this film. Talking about the upcoming project the actor is working on in Bawaal. Janhvi Kapoor will be seen in the lead role with him in this film.
