Vijay Varma, known for his diverse roles from Gully Boy’s Murad to Dahaad’s Anand Swarnakar, has carved a niche in Hindi cinema with his unconventional character picks. In a recent conversation, he candidly shared a pivotal moment in his career when financial strain led him to accept a role that didn’t align with his artistic aspirations and her got fired from the project later.
Reflecting on his past struggles, Vijay told Galatta Plus, “It has always been about the role for me but one time when I was at my lowest low, I didn’t have any money, I had Rs 18 in my bank account and there was a call that came. They said there is a small reporter’s role and it’s a one-day job and you will get Rs 3000. I never wanted to play a role like that but I took it. I went and I started shooting. My heart wasn’t there, my conviction wasn’t there and I was fumbling in the take. ”
Transitioning from negative roles, Vijay impressed as a charismatic cop in Sujoy Ghosh’s Jaane Jaan, alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat. His upcoming ventures include Afghaani Snow, Murder Mubarak, and Suriya 43.
