Varun Dhawan: I am sorry for making everyone cry with 'October'

However, the film has also touched many hearts with the act of Varun as Dan in the film. When Varun was asked about his reaction to box-office returns he laughed and said, "It was a little, humbling. I didn't promote this film as much as I do for my other movies. There were just one trailer and two songs that became the selling points. Shoojit da [Sircar, director] didn't want to give out any information. So, keeping these factors in mind, we had expected this figure. In fact, many people didn't even know that the film was releasing. If you ask me, the film really released on day two, when we saw a 65 percent jump in the collection. Also, I don't agree with suggestions that this film isn't for everybody. No matter who watches it, s/he will inevitably be moved on some level."

Varun plays a character of Dan in the film, whose life changes after an accident. On how is October's success different from his other movies, Varun added, "Oh, this is an entirely different feeling. It's a high I have never known before. I have never had people call my film a masterpiece. Badlapur [Sriram Raghavan's 2015 crime drama] was special as well, but the way October has touched people is incredible. I am sorry for making everyone cry with this movie, but I have made them laugh a lot in the last nine films [smiles]."

Meanwhile, post the wrap up of October" Varun completed the shooting of Sui Dhaaga alongside Anushka Sharma and now is currently busy shooting in Abhishek Verman's next "Kalank" which is a multi-starrer dream project of the filmmaker Karan Johar,
