For Varma, stepping into the shoes of Captain Sharan was a refreshing change. Known for his roles in darker, more complex characters, Varma embraced the challenge of portraying a hero with simplicity and nobility. “Getting to play a fairly simple, noble, and heroic character was a welcome change for me after playing some extremely twisted men,” Varma noted with a chuckle. This role allowed him to explore a new facet of his acting abilities, contrasting sharply with the intricate and often sinister characters he has previously embodied.
As he prepares for his next venture, “Matka King,” expectations are high for another compelling performance from Varma. His approach to his craft and his willingness to explore different types of characters are setting him apart in an industry ripe for innovation.
As audiences look forward to his upcoming projects, it’s clear that Varma is not just participating in this evolution but actively shaping it.
