Varun Dhawan took a dig at Kangana Ranaut and said the nepotism war between the actress and karan is just timepass.

The nepotism controversy in the industry doesn't seem to die down anytime soon. After the famous feud between Kangana Ranaut and Karan Johar over nepotism, it Varun Dhawan again who has dived into this controversy. The actor has now called it a timepass and that he is enjoying it.

During an interview to a leading daily, when Varun was asked about controversies before the release of a film, the actor said, "Controversies keep happening nowadays before the release of every movie. My film Judwaa 2 had also gone through it. I think the way Kangana stood for herself when her film Manikarnika was mired in a controversy, I really liked it. I think the kind of courage that Kangana showed was the best."

The October actor went on to clarify and said that he is not talking about Kangana and Karan nepotism controversy as he thinks it is just a timepass. He added, "The war (about nepotism) between Karan and Kangana is just timepass, it is a different thing. And I am actually enjoying whatever that is happening between Kangana and Karan, it is not their personal dispute."

It is not the first time when Varun has talked about nepotism. At IIFA awards 2017, the actor along with Saif Ali Khan and Karan Johar took a dig at Kangana Ranaut over the nepotism debate and received huge criticism on social media. The actor later apologised on Twitter and expressed regret over the act.

Varun Dhawan is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Kalank. The film also stars Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur, Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt in pivotal roles. The film is set to hit screens on April 17.

On the work front, Varun Dhawan will be next seen in Kalank. The film, which also stars Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur, is all set to hit the theatres on April 17, 2019.
