Varun Dhawan: “Karan Johar is not favouring Sidharth Malhotra”

Varun Dhawan is one of the more successful actors of the younger generation that’s stepped into Bollywood. He is on a professional high with his films like ‘Badlapur’ (2015) and ‘ABCD 2’ (2015) doing��immensely well. He admits that in a competition, he would want to win and not come in second.

Talking about competition��to��the Hindustan Times, Dhawan said, “I’m not a monk or saint in that sense; I doubt anyone in the film industry is. If I am part of a race, I would not want to come second. I would want to win. But I don’t run anyone else down. I feel there should be more actors in my age group. It’s only better, because it keeps everyone on their toes. So, every year, we must get newer ideas and fresher talent.”

On the rumors of mentor Karan Johar favoring Sidharth Malhotra, he said, “That’s rubbish. I have an emotional equation��with Karan, and so does Sidharth. Karan should support Sid like he supports me. He is a mentor to the both of us. In fact, Sid and I support each other as well. There are no ill feelings. I owe my career to Karan. I will do anything that he asks me to, and I will always be there for him, if he needs me.”

Dhawan is gearing up for possibly one of the biggest films of the year, ‘Dilwale’, where he will be starring alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol for the first time, and also romancing Kriti Sanon as well. The film releases on 18th December.
