When Varun Dhawan Reacted To Trolls Ahead Of Border 2 Release
Varun Dhawan had spoken about the trolling he had been facing ahead of the release of his much-awaited film Border 2.
The Bhediya actor, while speaking to the media at the 'Braves of the Soil' tribute trailer launch for Border 2, shared how he deals with online noise and stays focused on his work. While speaking at the event, Varun made it clear that he does not let social media comments affect him. He went on to add that he, in fact, prefers to "shut down the noise" and let his work speak for itself.
"I believe that you shut down the noise and just let your work do the talking. Yeh sab cheezein chalti rehti hain (All these things keep happening). It doesn't really matter. Main iske liye kaam nahin karta hoon. Main jis cheez ke liye kaam karta hoon, woh iss Friday ko pata chalega (I don't work for this. What I work for, you will find out this Friday)," Varun said.
Adding that he trusts the film, he continued: "Mujhe film pe bharosa hai. Ek achi film banana bohot zaroori hai. Obviously, numbers and all these things don't concern me. But I believe ki humne ek achi film banayi hai (I believe in the film. It's very important to make a good film. I'm not concerned with numbers. I believe we made a good film). That's the most important thing."
