Direction will happen very soon, says Varun Badola

Popular TV actor Varun Badola has revealed that he is planning to make his directorial debut soon.

The actor, who worked with Tigmanshu Dhulia as assistant director in his early films "Haasil" and "Charas", credits the filmmaker for giving him a better understanding of the craft.

"I must confess I was in very good hands when I was working with Tigmanshu Dhulia. They have inbuilt that particular 'writing ka keeda' in me which is prevailing within me till today. I would like to credit them for all the good work that I have been appreciated for," Badola told PTI in an interview.

The actor said he is currently focusing on his next TV show, Sony Entertainment Television's "Mere Dad Ki Dhulan", and will soon start working on his first project as a director.

"I have written more concepts which are under process now but that have become my backend work as I am involved full time with 'Mere Dad ki Dulhan'. But direction will happen soon," he added.

In recent years, Badola has done just a few web shows, but moving ahead the actor said he plans to work rigorously in all the mediums.

"I am lesser into films as of now. But I will definitely love to work on any interesting movie project as well. I wasn't on screen for quite a long time. However, I am trying to be a part of the acting industry now and for longer time ahead. I am giving my best shot now."
"Beauty of the television shows lies in experimenting with different taste of stories because we have varied types of audiences. I am following one show 'Tara from Satara' which also talks about father-daughter relationship with unique and relatable approach. Experimenting is important and I am glad that I am part of the progressive show."
"I have always admired Shweta for her powerful acting and leaving a mark with her characters. We both are playing unique but relatable quirky characters, and I am sure we will definitely create on-screen magic with our performances."
