Vijay Varma says he doesn't believe in standing out and likes to just "disappear into the characters he plays", and his career is a testament to just that. Whether as an abusive husband in "Darlings" or a mild-mannered teacher moonlighting as a serial killer in "Dahaad", Varma's outings as men in varying shades of grey, also including "Gully Boy", season one of "She", and "Lust Stories 2", has led to his fans constantly enquiring about his next positive role.
"I don't believe in standing out or trying to get attention. I feel it's not an actor's job. I figured that I have to play him as the most regular guy. If I do anything out of the ordinary, then the characters around me will look stupid, like how could they not see that this guy is not fine?" Varma said about his much-acclaimed role as the everyday man who is actually a serial killer in "Dahaad".
