Varun Dhawan Opens Up On The Box Office Performance of 'Bhediya'

Mumbai, December 24 - Varun Dhawan was recently seen in Maddock Films' creature comedy Bhediya, co-starring Kriti Sanon as the female lead. The actor had undergone rigorous prep sessions to step into the shoes of a man slowly turning into a mythical wolf.

"Bhediya" was shot in real locations and was mounted on world-class VFX shots. However, despite all the efforts by the makers, the film couldn't bring in the makers of the number had thought at the box office. It grossed approx. 93 crores at the global box office, including approx. 77 crores in India.



Varun Dhawan, during a recent interview, expressed his views on the film's box office performance and said, "It has been such a strange year, (with films) trying to get people back to theatres. I expected Bhediya to do better box-office numbers than it did. Having said that, I am grateful that people have seen the film in cinemas and its collection is higher than that of many. It tells you that you should try and do better".

Despite the underperformance of "Bhediya", Varun Dhawan said that he was creatively satisfied with it and would love to experiment in the future as well.

"Bhediya" was Varun Dhawan's second release of the year. Earlier, he was seen in Dharma Productions' "Jugjugg Jeeyo", which did fairly well at the box office and grossed over 130 crores worldwide. The actor will next be seen in director Nitesh Tiwari's "Bawaal" which is scheduled to release in April 2023.
