\u201cMy whole outlook towards women changed after Badrinath Ki Dulhania.<\/i> I am a boy who is brought up in Mumbai and I believe I am open-minded. But I realized that there were so many things my mind was not expanded to… There are things which \u2018Badri\u2019 does and it makes him look like a chauvinist,\u201d Varun told PTI.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realize that women don\u2019t want to get treated differently but just equally. I don\u2019t know what feminism is all about but I understand that women should be treated equally and I endorse that thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, the movie is the second in the franchise after Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania<\/i>, starring Varun and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles.<\/p>\n

Varun says playing \u2018Badri\u2019 was not easy for him as he could not relate to the background and lifestyle of the character.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn films like Main Tera Hero, Dishoom<\/i> or ABCD 2,<\/i> I could rely on myself. I am nothing like \u2018Badrinath\u2019 so I couldn\u2019t rely on myself. I had to pick a lot from real life people. The crucial part was that the character was not educated in the film so the thinking changes. I had to adapt to that change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor, who opted for a dark character in Badlapur<\/i>, says Badrinath Ki Dulhania<\/i> is a step forward in the same direction as he is not playing a conventional hero in the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Badlapur<\/i>, people wanted me to do a character again and \u2018Badri\u2019 is a step in that direction. Every film cannot be as dark as Badlapur<\/i>, but \u2018Badri\u2019 is not a conventional hero.<\/p>\n

He is a flawed character. This film is not a just a love story.<\/p>\n

It is a journey of a boy who changes with time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
