Varun Dhawan To Team Up With Vivek Agnihotri, Bhushan Kumar For Operation Sindoor Film- Report

Varun Dhawan has been steadily expanding his filmography beyond commercial entertainers, taking on roles that explore more grounded and patriotic themes. After appearing in Border 2, a sequel to the 1997 war drama Border, the actor drew attention for stepping into the space of nationalist cinema. Over the years, Varun has balanced mass entertainers with content-driven films, while filmmakers too have increasingly shown interest in casting him in projects rooted in real-life or politically charged narratives.

The development comes at a time when Varun is actively reviewing new scripts. He recently took a short break to spend time with his daughter, Lara, and has now resumed meetings with writers and filmmakers. The actor is also preparing for the release of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, scheduled for May 22, and aims to begin work on his next project by July.

With several offers on the table, the final decision on Operation Sindoor could signal the direction he chooses to take in the evolving space of mainstream Hindi cinema.
