Bollywood’s rising star Vijay Varma opened up about his journey and future aspirations. Known for breaking stereotypes, the Darlings actor credited his success to filmmakers who recognized his talent and pushed him into diverse roles. For him, the key has been being challenged by stories he didn’t imagine himself in. His next dream? A zombie movie or a full-on comedy gig.
Vijay admitted that the shift to OTT platforms helped him stay in the game during the pandemic. In the last three years, he’s churned out 15 releases spanning hit movies and series, mostly on streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon. Among these, his role in the OTT smash IC814 was a standout. The show painted a fresh picture of Bollywood—one free of the “four songs, seven fights” formula.
Varma sees this wave of streaming content as a new path for the industry. He partnered with acclaimed directors and created stories that struck a chord with fans. He isn’t afraid to experiment, and his filmography so far proves it.
Last year was a career hat trick for the actor. Showing versatility, he solidified his spot not just as a star, but as a storyteller breaking boundaries. With new films like Ul Jalool Ishq and Matka King lined up, fans have plenty to look forward to.
Whether it’s zombies, humor, or complex drama, Vijay Varma is up for anything. Bollywood better be ready.
