Chiranjeevi's judgement proved right in the case of Varun Tej. When the lanky actor was in his teens, It was Megastar who spotted the spark in him while taking his photographs and suggested him to give acting a try.

The 3-Film Old Actor told he always dreamt about creating an identity of his own. He would love to be called a good actor rather than just as a good looking guy.

When asked about the heavy-beard avatar, Varun revealed its purely for the 'No Shave November' campaign. He, however, continued the look even after the end of November month as he fell in love with it. He used to visit his stylist regularly for better maintenance. Director Krish liked the beard look and he even thought of writing a sequence around it in 'Rayabhari'. However, The project was kept on hold for some reasons. Varun wasn't worried as he experimented a lot with his beard during this period and uses these photographs whenever a filmmaker comes up with scripts which demand such makeover.

Varun Tej does nothing different to look so handsome. He just focusses on healthy diet and fitness regime.
