Vijay Varma¡¯s career has taken yet another interesting turn. After acing the darkest of dark characters with projects like Darlings, Daahad and Lust Stories 2, he has now taken it upon himself to perfect the good cop roles.
Taking a break from gray roles for a change, he stunned his fans with the portrayal of an honest cop in recently released web series Kaalkoot. His next big film Sujoy Ghosh¡¯s Jaane Jaan has been making a lot of headlines mainly because of a super-talented cast consisting of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat among others. The trailer was dropped yesterday and since then the internet has been discussing the plot of the film with a lot of excitement.?
Vijay Varma Calls Jaane Jaan A Refreshing Change
Varma is ecstatic as it¡¯ll be a much needed change for those viewers who have been ¡®traumatized¡¯ by his gray roles.?Besides playing a conventionally positive part, the actor said he was drawn to the project as it demanded him to develop a certain physique for the role.?
"There were two things that attracted me to this film. First, it was the role of a good police officer. I felt it was a welcome change for me and the audience who I¡¯ve traumatised in the past with my portrayal on screen. So, this was a welcome, refreshing change for me. Secondly, the character demanded a certain kind of physical prowess and skills, which my very couch friendly body was not familiar with, so I put myself in a grilling training for four months to get to where I have to, thanks to Sujoy da, who made it happen for me," Varma said at the trailer launch of Jaane Jaan.?
Varma Promises A New Version Of Him On Screen
He further said, ¡°It is a completely new take on what I¡¯ve done in the past. There are glimpses of action scenes. The presence that I¡¯ve is something that I didn¡¯t have before. Also, I feel that the dynamics between the three (characters) is something that people have never seen before. So, it's going to be fresh,¡± he said. The actor said he was happy to have teamed up with Ahlawat, his classmate from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), on ¡°Jaane Jaan¡±. "I have a long and loving relationship, a friendship with Jaideep. We were together in FTII. We were in the same class. So as soon as I knew Jaideep is part of the film and so is Kareena, I was like I was sold. I was super excited, also about working with my old friend, Sujoy Ghosh, who is thoroughly an entertaining person¡±.
Jaane Jaan is based on the critically acclaimed Japanese novel Devotion of Suspect X penned by author Keigo Higashino. It is all set to release on Netflix on 21st September.
