Despite
being
in
the
film
industry
for
many
years,
it
was
Amitabh
Bachchan's
courtroom
drama
Pink
which
catapulted
Vijay
Varma
to
fame.
The
actor
once
again
caught
everyone's
attention
with
the
2019
film
Gully
Boy.
In
a
recent
interaction
with
ETimes,
Vijay
Varma
couldn't
stop
gushing
over
his
Pink
co-star
Amitabh
Bachchan.
He
recalled
meeting
the
veteran
actor
on
the
sets
of
Gulabo
Sitabo
in
Lucknow,
and
said
that
they
even
had
lunch
together.
The
tabloid
quoted
the
Gully
Boy
actor
as
saying,
"I
was
shooting
in
Lucknow
for
Mirzapur
and
asked
Shoojit
sir
(Sircar,
director
of
Gulabo
Sitabo)
if
I
could
come
along.
I
was
shocked
when
I
reached
the
set
to
realise
that
Mr
Bachchan
had
kept
a
track
of
the
work
I
was
doing.
He
even
knew
the
ads
I
had
done.
It
was
simply
amazing.
He
has
really
invested
in
my
work.
He
is
not
an
icon
without
reason."
Vijay
revealed
that
he
has
now
patched
up
with
his
father
who
was
initially
unhappy
with
him
pursuing
a
career
in
showbiz
instead
of
taking
over
their
family
business.
"I
think
Gully
Boy
did
the
trick.
But
I
think
what
reassured
him
was
the
moment
when
he
saw
my
picture
with
Amitabh
Bachchan,"
the
actor
was
quoted
as
saying
by
ETimes.
Post
Amitabh
Bachchan's
Pink,
Vijay
Varma
went
on
to
work
with
stars
like
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Ranveer
Singh
in
Super
30
and
Gully
Boy
respectively.
Speaking
about
his
experience
of
working
with
these
actors,
Vijay
shared,
"Well,
they
are
amazing.
They
offer
very
useful
inputs.
The
give-and
take
between
Ranveer
and
me
in
Gully
Boy
was
primarily
because
he
waited
for
me
to
create
something
in
every
scene.
But
yeah,
you
aren't
star-struck
when
you've
seen
the
biggest
of
them
all-
Amitabh
Bachchan."
With
regards
to
films,
Vijay
Varma
will
next
be
seen
in
Nushrratt
Bharrucha-starrer
Hurdang
and
Alia
Bhatt-Shah
Rukh
Khan's
Darlings.
