With his upcoming revenge drama \u2018Badlapur\u2018, Varun Dhawan is all set to shed his lover boy image in Bollywood and making a mark in the industry as an intense actor.\nThe \u2018Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania\u2019 star hopes 2015 will establish himself as bankable star.
\n\u201cIt will be a make or break year for me. I know we are underdogs but if \u2018Badlapur\u2019 works then it will be entering to a Rs 100 crore club. I just want the audience to like the film,\u201d Varun told PTI.
\n\u2018Badlapur\u2019, a dark multi-starrer film, is directed by Sriram Raghavan and stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi, Yami Gautam, Divya Dutta and Radhika Apte besides Varun. It will hit theatres on February 20.
\nVarun, 27, said he is not in a signing spree and does not get bothered when he is often compared with his \u2018Student of the Year\u2019 co-stars Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra. \u201cI don\u2019t believe in rat race and try to keep away from it but somehow media keeps on comparing. I believe we all are working here for the betterment of Indian movies and taking the industry ahead,\u201d he said. The young actor, who is the son of filmmaker David Dhawan, wants to create his own identity in the industry. \u201cPeople often compare me with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and young Govinda. But I just want to be next me. While growing yes I have seen these actors work and somehow they have an influence on me,\u201d Varun said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
