Border 2 Director Anurag Singh Says Trolls Should Apologise to Varun Dhawan for Judging his Acting Skills Before the Film’s Release: When it gets personal, it affects a person

Varun Dhawan starrer Border 2 is witnessing a successful run in the theatres, translating even well into box office numbers. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film has made an excellent collection of Rs.175 crore at the box office within just four days, and it continues to roar. As the film continues its thunderous run, Anurag Singh states that those who ignited chatter around Varun Dhawan’s performance and acting skills before the film’s release should now apologise to him.

In recent times, Anurag Singh highlights that negativity tracks more on social media and it has become a “default”. ”Jisko aur kuch nahi bolna wo sochta hai negative bol deta hoon, social media pe likes aa jayenge. In the field we are in, we are more open to criticism than others, as we are always in the spotlight, especially actors. There is more scrutiny and conversations around that. People write negative things, say bad things, and get traction and followers. I don’t know when this change happened, but saying good things became tougher and saying bad things became easier,” he says.

Particularly talking about Varun Dhawan facing harsh conversations over his performance way before the film’s release, Anurag Singh adds, “If people are submitting apology letters, then it is good. If you criticised something and unnecessarily did so, once you like it, you should say sorry and admit it was wrong. Actors put themselves out there. They come in front of the camera and do 50 things, out of which 10 people might not like, which is ok. You can’t be liked every time. But when it gets personal, it affects a person.”

However, the filmmaker happily concludes that Varun’s performance is speaking volumes in Border 2. “Whoever faces that attack directly does get affected. People do negativity because it gets them more views, which is why this trend is on social media. But I am happy this has left our film because ab kaam bol raha hai (now the work is talking).”

Border 2 hit the big screens on January 23. It brings together Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty among others under one roof. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film is continuing its roar in the theatres!
