Varun Dhawan: There is business pressure with 'Kalank'

New Delhi, Apr 17 Varun Dhawan has deftly balanced his career between commercial and small scale projects, but the actor says a mega-budget multi-starrer like "Kalank" comes with a lot of pressure.

His last two releases - "October" and "Sui Dhaaga" - had little spending plans however a lot is on stake with "Kalank", which he says is his most expensive film till date.

"My last two films had really small budgets and the reach was bigger... There was no pressure of them doing well that much in money related terms. In this film there is commercial pressure.

"A great deal of eyeballs are there on this film since it is a troupe and this consideration is making me on edge. Everybody is going to watch and all I needed to do is be good in it. Fear of failure makes me anxious."

Other than Varun, the Abhishek Varman-coordinated motion picture highlights Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit Nene and Kunal Kemmu.

The actor said he believes in preparing a lot before taking on a role but this time Varman guided his performance.

"For me, preparation is very important. Be that as it may, with this, Abhishek didn't give me prepare too much. He doesn't that way. I am playing a metal forger in the film... So I realized I needed to chip away at my body... Be that as it may, when I went ahead the set, he requested that I get the look in my eyes which shows I am in 1940s. He is a very fine director," Varun said.

Every film, Varun stated, is like a baby and as an actor one feels responsible for its well-being but there is life beyond the box office.

The actor said he feels secure because he has people to fall back upon.

"Me being secure comes from my own life. They give me the security and the certainty. I know whether some time or another things don't work the manner in which I need them to, they will have my back.

"Initially, in my career, my priorities were my movies but as you grow old, things change. In any case, at that point, at times when my film is coming it turns into my need. I take it as my duty to take my film to the end goal. It is like a child, whom you are teaching to walk. You can't leave it midway. It will fall.
