Varun Dhawan: Bold content in ‘Badlapur’ was necessary

Huma Qureshi delivered a quality performance in ‘Dedh Ishqiya’. Her character had a certain mystery that added to the allure. She wants to experiment with different quirky characters. Talking about her role in ‘Badlapur’, Huma said, “Jhimli is a sex worker in the film. She is a sort of bridge between Raghu (Varun) and Laik (Nawazuddin’s) character, the good and the bad world.”

During the video interview, I noticed how the master actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui was being extremely shy. In fact during all my past interviews with Nawaz, I’ve always noticed this shy streak. I had to remind him, that he is the villain of ‘Kick’. But, as Nawaz said in past interviews with me, that an actor wants to become an actor so that he could become someone that he is not in real life. If you meet Nawaz in real life you can never fathom, that here’s the same actor who was a mean killer in movies like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ or ‘Kick’ and the clever street smart office worker in ‘The Lunch Box’. It remains to be seen how he transforms himself in Srirarm Raghavan’s ‘Badlapur’.
