Vijay Varma, known for his portrayal of antagonistic characters in various films, has addressed the allegations of being typecast for villainous roles. In a recent interview with Times Now, the actor shared his perspective on the matter.
While acknowledging the possibility of being labeled as such, Varma expressed that he is not concerned about the typecasting bug. He emphasized that he consciously chooses the roles he takes on. He cited his back-to-back projects, “Dahaad” and “Darlings,” as examples, highlighting their compelling narratives.
According to Varma, the characters he portrayed in these films, Anand Swarnakar and Hamza, respectively, were distinct and different from each other. Anand Swarnakar represented a classic psychopath, while Hamza was an alcoholic and abusive husband. He believed that these characters had unique traits and qualities, making them dissimilar from one another.
Although acknowledging the overall dark shades of these characters, Varma stated that he doesn’t perceive them as similar. He humorously remarked that the peak of his villainous portrayal was perhaps reached in “Dahaad” and suggested that he should now explore other types of roles.
Looking ahead, Vijay Varma has several exciting projects in the pipeline, including “Mirzapur 3,” “Lust Stories 2,” and “The Devotion of Suspect X.”
Varma’s response to the claims of typecasting showcases his deliberate selection of roles and his desire to explore diverse and engaging narratives beyond villainous characters.
