In an interview with Galatta Plus, Vijay Varma recalled the initial phase of his career, as he started out in the entertainment industry. The actor talked about a time when he didn’t have sufficient funds with him, and had to accept a work opportunity which he didn’t want to. In his words:
“It has always been about the role for me but one time when I was at my lowest low, I didn’t have any money, I had Rs 18 in my bank account and there was a call that came. They said there is a small reporter’s role and it’s a one-day job and you will get Rs 3000. I never wanted to play a role like that but I took it. I went and I started shooting. My heart wasn’t there, my conviction wasn’t there and I was fumbling in the take.”

Elaborating more about it, Vijay then revealed that since he wasn’t really good at English, he faced difficulty in completing the role, and was fired soon after. Sharing how he cried bitterly for the loss of the opportunity, Vijay concluded:
“And it was in English, so I figured that it isn’t easy to play an English reporter. So, I got fired on the set and I had finished Monsoon Shootout by that time, so I had played a lead by then, but I went through that experience and I was crying on my way back, I told myself that I will never take up anything for money. This happened in 2014 and I haven’t done anything for money since then.”

In yet another of his interactions with The Indian Express, Vijay Varma talked about running away from his home and revealed it was the only way in which he could learn about the world outside. The actor mentioned that after fleeing, he got into FTII where he studied more about his chosen discipline of film. In his words:
“I applied to FTII and when I got through, I had to run off to Pune while my father was away on one of his tours. He wouldn’t have allowed it because leaving the family is not done. The world I come from didn’t know of the world outside and I had to be a part of that.”
