Varun Dhawan may have lent his voice for the dubbed Hindi version of the latest Hollywood installment of Captain America but the actor firmly believes Hollywood films will never take over Bollywood ones.
Speaking at the launch of a figurine of Captain America in Mumbai, Varun when asked about the possibility of Hollywood taking over Bollywood said, “Hollywood will never take over Bollywood. Our Hindi film industry is original in its own sense and we have great talented people here. We will always survive. Artist will always have a voice in a country like India. I don’t think they (Hollywood) will take over us.
When pointed out that the collections of Jungle Book have been far greater than other Hindi films released in recent times, Varun reasoned, “Jungle book is more of an Indian story and audience connected well with it. Indian audience today wants better cinema and better visual effects. I recently saw Fan and thought it had some amazing VFX.”
Varun also expressed his delight at having received high praise for his dubbed voice from none other Chris Evans himself. “I have been honest with my dubbing in Hindi. I have tried to keep the tone the same. And Chris Evans praise means the world to me,” said Varun.
