Varun Dhawan recently impressed fans by reprising his Bhediya avatar in a cameo role in Stree 2. However, he rejected several prominent films during his career. Take a look:
Varun Dhawan was the initial choice for the male lead, however, he turned down the offer. Later, Arjun Kapoor headlined it opposite Parineeti Chopra and the movie became a blockbuster.
According to some reports, Varun turned down the offer in Kiran Rao’s social drama film due to some personal issues. It starred Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra, Kriti Malhotra and Aamir Khan.
Mohit Suri’s romantic drama film was also offered to Varun Dhawan, but he rejected the role. It was later passed on to Arjun Kapoor, who starred opposite Shraddha Kapoor.
Sriram Raghavan’s gripping black comedy crime thriller is among the highest-grossing films missed by Varun. It was later offered to Ayushmann Khurrana.
This critically acclaimed fantasy adventure film is among the missed opportunities of Varun Dhawan. The film featured Suraj Sharma and the late actor Irrfan Khan.
Imtiaz Ali’s romantic comedy first envisioned Varun Dhawan in the role but he declined. It was then made with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in the lead.
Some reports suggest that Varun Dhawan was offered a part in the third installment of the classic comedy film Heri Pheri 3. Currently, it is in the making.
