His one film, released in 2014, is still watched in 2025, and the reason is not a good storyline or good acting. The movie scene of Main Tera Hero went viral when a BTS video from the sets of the film was shared. The clip shows Varun and Nargis performing a kiss scene. When the director asked him to cut the scene short, he continued the scene even after the director said, 'Cut… Cut… Cut!'
