‘Baby John’ track ‘Nain Matakka’: Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh set the stage ablaze
Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh bring in the heat with sizzling track 'Nain Matakka' from 'Baby John.' Catch it here.
Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan says a ‘star’ is a big word for his achievements to be tagged as and he believes that actors like Ayushman Khurana, Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar are some of the new-age stars in making.
“I can remember the conversation with dad, after watching Bareilly Ki Barfi that we loved watching, dad said: ‘yaar this Rajkumar is such a brilliant actor, I feel like making a film with him!’ and I also personally feel that they are doing something right to get that love and appreciation from audience,” Varun said.
He was present here at the ‘Jagran Cinema Summit – Future of Cinema’ on Friday evening. In conversation with film critic Mayank Shekhar in the concluding session he was asked about his opinion on new-age stardom.

“In a year when much-anticipated films are not doing well at the box office, actors like Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkumar Rao, Kriti, Bhumi are making differences. So far, Bhumi has acted in three films — Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Shubh Mangal Savdhan and all of them are hits,” Varun said.
Admitting that he is popular on social media, which he enjoys a lot, the Main Tera Hero actor said: “There is a little hypocrisy there. When I meet people at the public events or put out trailer or videos on social media, I get a response from thousands of people. Are they all going to the theatre? Does the love I get from social media gets translated at the box office?”
“Not all the time. But a real star is who gets that at the theatre and have a steady fan-follower for years, like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan,” he added.
