But I kept pursuing him and then he told me look I can’t do this because I can’t give you that budget right now.
Why Aditya Chopra did not give the film
Varun further explained the reason for Aditya Chopra’s refusal. He said- ‘Aditya told me that you are not at a place where I can give you such a big budget. I kept thinking about it and then later asked him what the budget was. After this he told me that you need to do something big. ,
Said thanks to Raj and DK
The actor says- ‘When this (‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’) came, I asked Raj and DK as well as Amazon what the budget was.
