Varun Dhawan said ‘yes’ to Bhediya after hearing one line; says he never wanted to let go of the film : Bollywood News

Jio Studios and Dinesh Vijan’s Bhediya has sparked massive buzz since its official trailer launch. Apart from the comedy and stellar VFX, one of the talking points has been leading man Varun Dhawan. May it be his rugged and restrained human role or his raw and rousing animal avatar, the whole world has gone gaga over every glimpse. If sources close to the crew are to go by, Dhawan has gone through rigorous prep sessions to step into the shoes of a man slowly turning into a mythical wolf.

Varun Dhawan said ‘yes’ to Bhediya after hearing one line; says he never wanted to let go of the film

Sharing his thoughts on the journey, Varun says, “I agreed to do Bhediya after hearing just the one-line idea. I’ve never wanted to let go of the film ever since and was in constant touch with the producers. This is the wildest character I have played. While it may have been my first foray into the creature comedy genre, Amar had done Stree earlier and was very hands-on with the whole process. My biggest dream as an actor is to entertain through a diverse array of roles. Bhediya is the most important addition to that endeavour".

Set in the forests of Arunachal Pradesh, the Varun Dhawan-Kriti Sanon starrer tells the story of Bhaskar, a man who gets bitten by a mythical wolf, and begins to transform into the creature himself. As Bhaskar and his ragtag buddies try to find answers, a bunch of twists turns and laughs ensue.
