A still from Jee Karda
Actor Varun Dhawan, mostly seen in chocolate-boy roles, might have pulled off the mother of all reinventions director Sriram Raghavan upcoming action-thriller Badlapur.
A rugged, bearded Varun is bent on violent revenge, as shown in the trailer and the first song Jee Karda from Badlapur. The emotional intensity of the song and Varun's dark side are so gripping that superstar Salman Khan was moved to praise on Twitter:
Wah yaar! Kamaal karte ho mr varun ! Badlapur ? Already tryin diff stuff :) ? Film lookin good. Baap ka record tord do jaldi . Happy fr u .
