By: Shanaz B Syed | 18 Oct 2025 12:34 PM ISTVarun Tej’s career feels a bit like a river trying to find its path after some big rocks in the way. After hits and misses, Ghani and Gandhivadhari Arjuna didn’t exactly set the screens on fire, fans are curious about what he’s choosing next. Right now, he’s busy with Korean Kanakaraju, an Indo-Korean horror-comedy. It’s part action, part comedy, and he’s trying out a new look again. Word is, shooting is about 80 percent done and they plan to wrap by November end.
Even with that ongoing, Varun has already said yes to another project, a romantic entertainer by Vikram Sirikonda. This film had been planned last year but got postponed thanks to script discussions and clashing dates. Now it’s a go and shooting is set to begin in December. The movie is supposed to mix love, emotions, and style, and fans are hoping it gives him a boost after the ups and downs of recent films. People are naturally excited. Who doesn’t want to see him back in a soft, romantic role?
Mythri Movie Makers is producing it on a big budget, and pre-production is almost done. Details about the heroine and other cast members haven’t been revealed yet, but sources say Varun wants the story and emotional depth to stay strong. Makes sense. He’s had romantic hits before, like Fida and Tholi Prema, so going back to love stories isn’t a bad idea. Especially after experimenting with action-heavy stuff like Matka and Operation Valentine, it’s kind of smart to stick to what worked for him before.
It looks like Varun is learning from past stumbles, picking scripts carefully. Korean Kanakaraju lets him try something different, but this new romantic film is a safe way to reconnect with fans. With two projects lined up and his focus sharp, it seems like he’s on a steady path to reclaim his Tollywood groove, one film at a time. If things go right, this could be the start of a strong comeback.
