Varun Dhawan opens up about Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari
Varun opened up on what Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is really about. “We don’t make any promises about changing your life with this film. But what we do promise is that we will change your mood. This is not a preachy film or something where we’re giving gyan (advice). It’s about going back to the time when you’d watch a movie and walk out with a big smile,” he said.
“If you went in with a family member with whom you had unresolved issues, maybe those issues would get resolved. Maybe the guy who took a loan from you would pay it back. That’s the positive power we are trying to put out with Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. It’s a very happy-go-lucky film and something that is needed in today’s time,” he added.
Varun talks about Kantara: Chapter 1
Both Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 will clash at the box office on October 2. Talking about it, he added that Kantara “is a very big film” and that the “first one was amazing.” Varun said both films are “very different,” and he thinks “there’s more than enough space for all kinds of films.”
