The solid foundation laid by Megastar Chiranjeevi and later by Pawan Kalyan facilitated the young Mega heroes to enjoy fan base right from their debut films. In order to capitalize on the massive fan base, the likes of Ram Charan, Bunny and Sai Dharam Tej started doing mass films from very early stage in their respective careers, and the strategy backfired after a few hits.
Varun Tej however has tried to be different from the very beginning. Choosing films like Mukunda and Kanche at the beginning of his career is a demonstration that he is not craving for the ‘typical Mega hero’ tag. His limitations in dances could be another reason why he stayed away from dance-fight films for which Mega heroes are known for.
Varun’s progress has been slow but his planning is good. Even though his initial films didn’t work, ‘Fidaa’ gave him the big break he had been waiting for. Most heroes would take a wrong path after scoring blockbusters but Varun hasn’t shown any such signs. He is still looking for only films that suit him and not aiming for the ‘star’ image yet.
His new film, ‘Tholi Prema’ has good craze in market. Dil Raju buying the film for an outright price has also amplified the buzz on the film. Varun has recently said that he hasn’t signed any new films yet but reliable information is that he has given his consent to star in Dil Raju-Anil Ravipudi’s “F2”. He is in talks with Sankalp Reddy of ‘Ghazi’ fame and also with ‘Haathi Mere Saathi’ makers – two very different and potential projects that can increase his reach.
Varun is also one of the very few heroes in Tollywood who don’t indulge in controversies, link-ups. The Goodwill he is earning and the Talent he has will take him a long way, say industry people.
