Following the release of ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’, where Vijay Varma impressed audiences with his portrayal of the real-life hero Captain Devi Sharan, the actor reflected on his evolving journey in the industry in a recent conversation. Vijay shared, “Commercial or not commercial, what I am doing now is the new Bollywood. You can call it Bollygood.”

Vijay’s statement emphasizes his commitment to redefining Bollywood by pushing boundaries and bringing fresh narratives to the screen. Through his performance, Vijay brought the bravery and calmness exhibited by Captain Sharan into the spotlight, ensuring that the unsung hero’s efforts are finally acknowledged and celebrated.
Vijay Varma shared his thoughts on portraying Captain Devi Sharan in IC814, expressing how refreshing it was to step into a role that diverges from his previous complex characters. “Getting to play a fairly simple, noble, and heroic character was a welcome change for me after playing some extremely twisted men,” he chuckled. For Vijay, this role allowed him to explore a different side of his acting spectrum, embracing the straightforward heroism of Captain Sharan with a sense of ease and fulfillment, a contrast to the darker, more layered personalities he’s been known for.
As he gears up for his upcoming role in ‘Matka King’, audiences eagerly anticipate another stellar performance. Vijay Varma’s approach to storytelling ensures that he remains a significant force in what he proudly calls “Bollygood.”
