Varun Dhawan, who once created a long streak of successful films, is now seeking a clean box office hit. In the process, the actor has increasingly been

subjected to ruthless trolling and memes across social media platforms. Having worked in both content driven films and commercial potboilers, Varun is currently going through a rough phase, which he hopes to overcome with his upcoming big release, Border 2. During a recent interactive session on X, VD addressed all kinds of queries, ranging from criticism to praise. One netizen even asked him to stop doing films like Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari in the name of versatility.

What Did Netizen Say And How Varun Dhawan Replied

Tagging Varun, a X user wrote, "Bhai aren't u serious Abt ur comeback? Stop doing pathetic movies like SSKTK in the name of versatility..... #varunsays." The not-so-polite comment did not rattle the actor one bit. Instead, VD gave a befitting reply with a hint of sarcasm. He said, "Chalo film phir bhi chal gaye thodi. App theatre jata rehna mein #border 2 might surprise u since ur taste is amazing #varunsays."

Moved by the tweet, Varun wrote, "Thank u sir. Ek soldier ne bol diya usse zyada kuch nahi chaiye mujhe #varunsays."

Border 2 Cast And Release Date
