Varun Tej On Celebrating Makar Sankranti: It's Like Diwali In Hindi Cinema | EXCLUSIVE

Telugu star Varun Tej is a fighter whose intensity just got lighter. It is that time of the year when he loosens up. He waits with mounting expectations for this time of the year.

When we caught up with him this morning Varun sounded happier than ever. “What to do? It is Makar Sankranti. I wait for this day every year. For me Sankranti is a time for family friends and food. Sankranti has always been about celebrating with family and coming together.”

This is the time when Varun gets to spend time with his legendary uncle. “Every year, our large family gathers at Chiranjeevi Garu’s house, or we all head out of Hyderabad to celebrate at our farmhouse in Bangalore. It’s a tradition we all look forward to, spending time with loved ones, sharing delicious food, having great conversations, and flying kites with the kids.”

The celebration doesn’t end for Varun in one day. It’s a three-day festival where even the actors in the family, take time off to come together and celebrate this beautiful occasion.”

Varun also reminds us that Makar Sankranti is a time when big Telugu films get released. “It is like Diwali in Hindi cinema. Sankranti is a big season for movie lovers, with so many major films releasing every year. Down South, especially in Andhra and Telangana, the festival is celebrated with immense enthusiasm both at home and in movie theaters. I must say this is my favourite festival!”
