No Varun Dhawan for Sriram Raghavan's next!


Sriram Raghavan had lately disclosed to a famous daily that Varun Dhawan was going to be the leading man in his next. Instead, now Mirzya actor Harshvardhan Kapoor will be part of the film and not Varun.

The Badlapur and Agent Vinod director told the daily, "The film is in progress, but not with Varun. It is a black comedy with a thriller element to it."

As to why Varun will not be a part of the movie a source disclosed the daily, "There’s already another movie, Kaabil, about a blind man (played by Hrithik Roshan) coming before that and Varun was uncomfortable playing a blind man so soon after that."

"Playing a blind man entails a lot of research and time and the actor wants to focus on commercial entertainers right now. There would be obvious comparisons with Hrithik. Furthermore, Varun wasn’t convinced about the film’s commercial viability and so, turned it down," the source further added.


The film which also stars Tabu is an edgy dark thriller about a musician who fakes being blind. Would you have liked to see Varun in such a different avatar?
