"It will be a make or break year for me. I know we are underdogs but if Badlapur works then it will be bigger than Rs 100 crore for me. It's a different challenge. I just want the audience to like the film," Varun told PTI.
Badlapur, a film starring multiple stars, is directed by Sriram Raghavan and stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi, Yami Gautam, Divya Dutta and Radhika Apte besides Varun. Badlapur is set to release on February 20.
Varun, 27, said he is not on a signing spree and does not get bothered when he is often compared to his
Student of the Year co-stars Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra.
"I don't believe in rat race and try to keep away from it but somehow the media keeps on comparing. I believe we all are working here for the betterment of Indian movies and taking the industry ahead," he said.
The young actor, who is the son of filmmaker David Dhawan, wants to create his own identity in the industry.
"People often compare me with Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and young Govinda. But I just want to be next me," Varun said.
