After delivering hits back to back, actor Varun Dhawan unfortunately met a brief speed bump as his last release 'Kalank' failed to perform as expected at the box office. The actor admitted he was affected by it, and said, "It was not accepted by the audience because it was a bad film and somewhere we all failed collectively." The movie had a stellar starcast with Madhuri Dixit Nene, Sanjay Dutt, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Alia Bhatt alongside Dhawan.
“Making a film is a team effort. It’s wrong to blame it on the director and producer. And being a part of the team, I will take part of the blame as well. The film did let down people. We have collectively gone through why it didn’t work. Personally, it (failure) was important. I wanted the failure to affect me because if it doesn’t, then that means I don’t love my work,” he added.
However, Varun has no time to linger in the past. He is looking forward to diverse films lined up for release in the coming year, including 'Street Dancer 3D' and the remake of his father's hit 1995 comedy, 'Coolie No 1'. Regarding his choice of films, the actor said, "I choose films which I know I will enjoy doing the most. If I don't have fun, it won't show on screen. I am playing a street dancer in my next because I love dancers in real life. If I want something serious, I do something like 'October'. With comedy, I want to work with David Dhawan (his father) because he is the best in the country. His experience will help me as an actor."
"I am first a lover of cinema and then an actor. I am here to entertain the audience and everything else comes secondary to me. Everyone goes wrong sometimes, even I have, but you have to learn."
