Varun Dhawan is busy with the promotional activities for his upcoming movie October. Varun accompanied with his co-star Banita Sandhu and director Shoojit Sircar launched the trailer of his film October. Banita Sandhu who is known for model shoots and ad filmmaking is going to debut with this movie. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan has given a statement that actors should charge less for the film so that producers could focus more on the film. At the trailer launch of the film, Varun was asked about his view on Shah Rukh Khan's statement.
Reacting to this, Varun said, "I think it's true. He also produces his own films also so he is creatively also involved. One of the pioneers as an actor. Aur jo wo keh rahe hai sahi keh rahe hai ke paise ka. (And about the fee, what SRK is saying is right) The money should not control the creative part of the film. Jitna paisa aap script pe ya film pe daal sake wo behtar hoga (It would be better the more money you invent on films and script). And I think you can work that out."
The actor also said that he never faced any issues with filmmakers when it comes to fees. He said, "Maine toh kabhi yeh face nahi kiya hai problem jab bhi main film karta hoon (I never faced this problem when I work in a film). I want to look that everyone is safe; the producers are also happy making the film and then you can go ahead."
Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan was asked if October was like a risk to him after Judwaa 2 and Badrinath Ki Dulhania. He answered, "No matter what people say but I need this film more than anyone else in my career."
Varun Dhawan who has hiked his fee after delivering simultaneous hits - Badrinath Ki Dulhani and Judwaa 2 reduced his fee by 50 percent for his movie October. The movie has been made on a relatively low budget of Rs 20 crore and Varun was made aware of it by Shoojit since the very beginning.
