Varun Dhawan said that ‘Badlapur’ drained out him emotionally and he went into depressed for a while.
“It drained me. I had slipped into depression as after a point it no longer felt like I was acting in a film. The experience was that terrifying. Sriram really made me suffer. Even when the camera was off, he was shooting me. It was a reality check of a different kind because till then I had been leading a rather insulated life, both in real life and reel.”
The dark edgy drama is all set to release on February 13.
