Varun turns 21

Varun recently turned 33 years old. But then he will soon be turning 21 as well when he starts shooting for the film Ekkees she he plays a 21-year-old army man in the biopic of Arun Khertarpal who won the Param Vir Chakra posthumously.

“It basically means that Varun would have to look much younger than his age as well and hence Varun is also experimenting with a lot of looks at home these days trying to see how young he can look. Varun had played a teenager when he made his debut in Bollywood with the Karan Johar directed film Student of the Year in 2012. But then he was eight years younger, then. The audiences have also seen him for a while and he will need to make an effort to lose weight at the right places,” says our source.

Varun’s last two films Kalank as well as Street Dancer 3D failed badly at the box office and he has thus been a little careful about his further choice of films. The actor will be seen next in the film Coolie No 1 along with Sara Ali Khan and which is being directed by his filmmaker father David Dhawan who has given him two hits earlier in the form of Main Tera Hero and Judwaa 2.
