The actor is currently in discussions with filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and producer Bhushan Kumar for their upcoming collaboration, Operation Sindoor.
A Strategic Career Move
Since the success of Border 2, Varun has received numerous offers in the patriotic and military genres from top-tier banners like Dharma Productions and Maddock Films. However, sources suggest he is being highly selective about his next steps.

“Varun has been offered Operation Sindoor, and the actor has shown interest in playing the lead. Bhushan Kumar and Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri presented the protagonist’s role to him, and he is expected to hear the full narration soon before taking a final call.”
Back in Action
After taking a brief hiatus to spend time with his family, Varun is officially back in the professional circuit. The actor’s upcoming schedule is packed.
