TV actor Varun Kapoor recently made his Bollywood debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s film Gangubai Kathiawadi which starred Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgan, Shantanu Maheshwari among others in pivotal roles. Indian TV fans know Varun as Sanskar Maheshwari from Colors show Swaragini. After his show Savitri Devi, he went missing from television industry for four long years.
The actor took out time to sharpen his craft and the effort paid when he bagged a Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film as his first project. Now, in an interaction with BollywoodLife, Varun spoke about how working on a Sanjay Leela Bhansali set is like an emotion in itself.
He quoted saying, “The first day I was very nervous. Suddenly, you are thrown into a huge set of many so lights and cameras focusing on you. It is Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is on the director’s chair watching you, and there is no such thing like a perfect take. You realise this when you are an actor. I just tried to gather myself and deliver my best. Everything is like 50x bigger on SLB’s sets. The team is also huge. I would say my emotions were 50x heightened being with him.”
