MUMBAI : Vijay Varma recently earned an award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as inspector Karan in ‘Jaane Jaan’. As his career progresses, he has increasingly taken on central roles, with his prominence on posters reflecting this shift. His upcoming project, IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, showcases him as the lead, highlighting his growing status in the industry.
In a recent podcast, Vijay was asked about the journey of his placement in posters. The actor responded, “Poster's journey started when I did a film named Monsoon Shootout. I was the lead in that film. Some of my work did not come out and the film got delayed but when the film was released, the poster was completely changed...from there my poster journey started.”
Discussing the challenges he faced due to minimal or no exposure on posters, Vijay humorously added, “After that in 'Rangrez' I was in a half cut in a poster, In 'she', they showed only the backside, in some it was very small… in ‘Darlings’ it was tuta-futa (says jokingly).”
Vijay Varma’s journey reflects a series of incremental changes. "Sometimes, I used to be on posters, and sometimes, I was not on the poster... This has been my journey with the poster. Now I am here,” the actor concluded, underscoring how far he has come in securing a more prominent place in the industry.
As Vijay Varma continues to rise in the entertainment industry, his role in the upcoming web series ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’ further exemplifies his shift from the periphery to the spotlight. Vijay plays the role of a pilot in ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’, which chronicles the harrowing events of the 1999 Indian Airlines IC 814 hijacking, a crisis that gripped the nation, and will be arriving on Netflix on August 29.
