'Operation Valentine' star Varun Tej opens up about people calling patriotic films 'propaganda': 'We can’t have multiple opinions'

Varun Tej and Manushi Chhillar are gearing up for their upcoming movie ‘Operation Valentine’ directed by Shakti Pratap Singh. This Telugu–Hindi bilingual film, based on the Pulwama attack, will hit theaters on March 1. Ahead of the release, Varun Tej has shared his commitment to the movie and how he managed to learn Hindi for it.

In an interview with Telugu123, Varun mentioned that he took two months of coaching to get the Hindi diction right. He said that he knows Hindi but has no confidence to talk. He received training prior to the shooting. In a funny note, Varun said, “I practiced very well. First, we used to shoot in Hindi. When we were shooting in Telugu, I used to tell Hindi dialogues”.

While talking about people calling patriotic films propaganda of political parties, Varun emphasized that the most important thing is that the Indian Army/Air Force carries out such a great attack, so everyone should stand with them, irrespective of the political party. “We may have different opinions on that, but when it comes to our national security, we can’t have multiple opinions,” the actor added.
