Media making anyone a star these days says Varun

Five years into Bollywood, Varun Dhawan has already earned a place for himself. In an industry that chooses to separate its stars from actors, many find him the perfect combination of the two.

Eight-film-old Dhawan has successfully straddled commercial hits with serious, gritty films that bring his acting prowess to the fore.

But Dhawan says the tag of ‘star’ sits heavy on his shoulders. Speaking at the Jagran Cinema Summit held in the city yesterday, the actor said, “The term star is totally misused today. I think the media makes anyone a star these days.”
