Actor Varun Sharma says his character in Nitesh Tiwari's "Chhichhore" has opened doors for people to look at him for roles that go beyond the genre of comedy.
Varun's portrayal of Sexa, an affable but emotional character, got him some of the best reviews of his career and the actor could not be more thrilled.
When asked if he thinks post the film directors, producers are going to look at him differently, Varun told PTI, "I really hope and wish they do. As an actor, I personally feel that in different genres as well, if I work hard, I can showcase that side of mine.
"People have already started seeing me in a different light, the messages and meetings are happening. I am really happy for that kind of acknowledgement."
"The films I'm planning and doing are a mix of different things, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to stop doing comedy. That's something I love doing and I can't take that for granted."
"Wherever I used to go, people called me 'Chucha' and I loved that. It's every actor's dream to be called the character's name. Now, finally with 'Chhichhore', people are calling me 'Sexa'. I feel so good that the character has made that big an impact."
