Varun Dhawan’s box office woes add to No Entry 2’s woes
The film faced many problems as Varun’s position at the box office was not confirmed. His patriotic film ‘Border 2’, which released in January this year, boosted his career, but his two back-to-back blockbusters, ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’ and ‘Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’, hurt him badly. Varun decided to leave the Boney film alone. In a casual chat with a media personality, he said, “I need time to think. We are not sharing service updates at this time.”
