¡®Hey darlings! You mad you, I loves u, pleaj¡¯?
This song perfectly represents the wacky, quirky and lovable personality of Vijay Varma, hence we dedicate this song to our Darlings.?
As an outsider, every struggling actor encounters difficulties, but it is up to them to persevere and demonstrate that they can make it to the big screen someday. One such actor is Vijay Varma; after fleeing his home, struggling as a theatre performer, and now finding success in Darlings, he has come a long way and deserves all the praise.?
Despite the lengthy and tedious process, the result was evidently worthwhile.
Born into a Marwari family in Hyderabad, becoming an actor was not his childhood ambition; instead, he aspired to be a comic artist. He always knew that his father's business was not for him, even as he struggled to discover his calling in life, long before he joined FTII in Pune and learned everything about movies and cinema.
The Gully Boy actor collaborated with Tom Alter in the theatre for a year and a half. Following his theatrical performances, casting directors began contacting him. That's how he acquired his first film, Chittagong, in 2010.
The plot of the film is based on Jhunku, a young man in 1930s British Bangladesh, who sets out on a journey to find his place in the world. Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Rajkumar Rao, and Delzad Hiwale also featured in Chittagong.
In an interview reported by Etimes, the actor said, ¡°The journey in showbiz is something that nobody can prepare you for, but it is the test of your character and you need to pass it.¡±
There was no turning back for Vijay after Chittagong; one film led to another until he was cast in Monsoon Shootout. The movie was an action thriller with a noir crime theme. At the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, the movie was shown in the Official Midnight Screenings section. It appeared at many renowned film festivals.
Pink was a hugely successful film. Later, Vijay received the award, which he deserved because he played Ankit Malhotra, the violent-sexist Delhi man in Shoojit Sircar's breakthrough film. Additionally, he was offered projects for roles similar to those of a violent husband or a child molester, which he turned down. To combat this stereotype, he agreed to play in the YouTube comedy series Cheers. He made his Telugu film debut in MCA Middle-Class Abbayi, playing the villain.?
With his many characters, The Quintessential Guy has always been able to touch people's hearts. Even though Pink was his breakthrough movie, Vijay Varma's zany character in Gully Boy propelled him to fame. The character he played, Moeen Bhai, altered his career path. Everyone loved and praised his performance, including Amitabh Bachchan, who sent a handwritten note praising Vijay's efforts.
The actor has played a variety of roles in films such as 'Pink,' 'Manto,' 'Gully Boy,' and 'Super 30.' With web series such as "A Suitable Boy," "She," "OK Computer," and "Mirzapur," Varma gained more recognition in the digital sphere. The actor claimed in an interview that OTT for him was a "blessing in disguise."
Vijay's perspective on his digital career was quoted by Hindustan Times, where the actor said, ¡°OTT kept me going. I was a bit scattered in the beginning because she was released just at the time of the first lockdown. But after that, I had back-to-back projects coming out. All the work that I did was finally released as all these platforms wanted content.¡±
Despite playing a bad character in SHE, Vijay's portrayal of Sasya made it difficult for the audience to dislike him. Sasya, a drug dealer, develops a complicated bond with Bhumika Pardesi (Undercover agent). We want to ask, "Please Say It Again," because his Hyderabadi accent was so sexy. He has mastered the accent to a "T", a plus point for being born and raised in Hyderabad.
The web series A Suitable Boy is based on the book of the same name by Vikram Seth. Director Mira Nair reduced the eight original episodes of the series to just six. In the series, Rasheed, an Urdu teacher, is portrayed by Vijay Varma. The actor acknowledged that perfecting his diction and articulation required a lot of effort. It was disappointing to see Vijay Varma's talent wasted in a minor role. The actor is extremely talented, and the creator should have explored his character more along with the characters of Randeep Hooda and Vijay Raaz.
Even for Sci-fi fans Vijay Varma-Radhika Apte starrer ¡®Ok Computer¡¯ took some time to figure things out. However, stick with it because it's totally worth it. In contrast to his previous performances, Vijay has portrayed his character in the show in a unique way. A tough cybercrime investigator from 2031 and a young AI researcher was given the assignment of putting an end to a helpful, government-funded robot in the story. It was the first time that something similar with a theme of AI vs. Human was present.
We can't get enough of him! He previously revealed that he had begun filming for Season 3 of Mirzapur and Maa Kasam, and we can't wait to watch him transform from Chotey Tyagi to Badey Tyagi. As the identical Tyagi brothers in Mirzapur 2, Varma was incredibly convincing.
His most recent film, Darlings, has generated a lot of buzz, thanks to his amazing acting abilities. Vijay Varma has made a name for himself as a legendary performer. Hamza, the alcoholic character he plays, is violent and irritable. Hamza's mood can shift from 0 to 100 extremely quickly, suggesting that the actor has mastered the grey-shaded characters. Even the character's crocodile tears work to change his demonic personality into that of a devoted husband.
