Varun Dhawan’s Ekkis with Sriram Raghavan delayed due to Covid-19, to go on floors in September 2021 : Bollywood News – Puucho News

After Badlapur, we have been keen to see the sensible Sriram Raghavan faucet Varun Dhawan’s performing expertise in Ekkis, a conflict movie produced by Dinesh Vijan. Ekkis is a bio-pic on the Paramvir Chakra winner Arun Khetarpal.
When I touched base with Sriram (after a very long time, I need to confess), I level-clean requested him about rumours suggesting that Ekkis has been shelved.
He calmly defined, “No it’s not shelved. We were supposed to shoot in September this year. Preparation was to start in April. But then we all know what happened. Ekkis has been pushed forward to next year. I need a specific weather in September-October to shoot in battle locations. So even if Covid recedes, we will have to wait until September 2021.”
Sriram says Varun could be very enthusiastic about enjoying Arun Khetarpal. “In fact he called me a while back. Poor chap must be bored in quarantine. I told him he must get in shape for the role. I don’t want Ekkis to be just another bio-epic. I want it to be reflective of the solidier’s personality. Varun has to do a lot of preparation. For Andhadhun, Ayushmann Khurrana had to learn to play the piano, even if it was just three musical pieces. Varun has to work a lot harder to look convincing. He must go on location, meet other soldiers, meet Arun’s family. He needs to understand the language of a soldier, the agility and the alertness, to begin with. If I were to climb into a tank I’d probably need a chair. Varun has to jump into the tank as if he belonged in it. We also need to source the artillery and the tanks, etc.”
Borrow them from J P Dutta, I joke.
“Ha, that weaponry won’t work here,” Sriram quips.
While Sriram waits to begin Ekkis, he could do a small movie for the OTT platform. “Let’s see. I have been writing something for the digital platform. I haven’t stepped out of my home since Covid. I’ve an old mother at home. And I can’t risk infection. So I’ve been writing. I may do a small film for the streaming platform before Ekkis.”
