Varun quietly decided to walk out of Boney’s movie on his own. “I need time to think,” he said in a casual chat with a media person. Not sharing any career updates now.”

Reports say that the ‘No Entry 2’ sequel has already burnt about Rs 30 crore in Boney’s pocket, and yet the film has nothing to show for all this expenditure.
