Varun
Sandesh,
the
young
upcoming
star,
already
has
a
few
enemies,
all
out
to
slander
his
reputation,
or
so
he
believes.
Denying
allegations
that
he
demands
hefty
fees,
Varun
says,
"Recently,
I
refused
some
films
and
some
gossip-mongers
went
around
saying
that
my
refusal
was
based
on
the
fact
that
the
producers
were
not
paying
what
I
asked
for.
The
truth
is,
I
could
not
provide
the
required
dates
to
some
of
the
producers,
who
approached
me.
And
there
were
some
films
I
refused
because
I
simply
did
not
like
the
script.
I
never
say
'no" to
producers
otherwise,
and
money
has
never
been
the
criterion–
what
matters
is
the
script,
and,
of
course,
the
character
that
I
am
supposed
to
enact."
Varun"s
latest
film,
Maro
Charitra,
is
due
for
release
soon.
The
film
is
a
rehashed
remake
of
the
earlier
Maro
Charitra
which
starred
Kamal
Haasan.
In
this
version,
Varun
plays
an
NRI,
and
the
entire
unit
was
convinced
that
the
role
was
tailor-made
for
him.
By
his
own
admission,
he
earned
the
image
of
a
lover-boy
after
his
role
in
Happy
Days,
but
it
was
his
performance
in
Kurradu,
which
boosted
his
career.
“I
am
not
afraid
of
failure," says
Varun,
“there
is
a
healthy
competitive
atmosphere
in
the
Telugu
film
industry.
It
gets
tough
sometimes
with
the
entry
of
new
stars
from
film
star
families,
but
there
are
always
producers
who
are
willing
to
work
with
talented,
new
artistes."
