Diljit Dosanjh has taken comedy to a different space altogether: Varun Sharma

Actor Varun Sharma, known for films such as Dolly Ki Doli (2015) and Dilwale (2015), says he is keen on doing Punjabi films and would like to work with leading Punjabi actors Diljit Dosanjh and Gippy Grewal.

Being a true blue Punjabi, Fukrey (2013) actor Varun Sharma is always eager to do Punjabi films. Having done Yaaran Da Katchup in 2014, the 27-year-old says that the offers he received recently from the industry weren’t good enough.

Actor Varun Sharma has just finished shooting for Fukrey Returns. The film is expected to hit theatres later this year.

“Look at films such as Punjab 1984 (2014), Bambukat (2016) and Manje Bistre (2017). Undoubtedly, it’s a good time to be a part of the Punjabi film industry. Of late, I had got a few offers to play comic characters but none of them were appealing. I have no problem with the genre, but I am against clichéd comedy. I want to explore films with good content,” says Varun.

The actor is also keen on working with leading Punjabi stars Diljit Dosanjh and Gippy Grewal. “I’m a huge admirer of Diljit and love his journey as an actor and as a singer. I feel he has taken comedy to a different space. There’s so much to learn from him. We met a couple of times and he is a wonderful soul. I would love to work with Gippy Grewal too. He is an entertaining actor,” adds Varun, who will be next seen in Sushant Singh Rajput-Kriti Sanon Raabta. He plays the role of a happy-go-lucky character who is Sushant’s closest pal in the film.
