Its taking values from variable file present in local module.

That's how it works. There is no inheritance of variables in TF. You have to explicitly pass all the variables in parent module when to the child module. Otherwise, you have to copy-and-paste all veriables in tfvars in parent module, to tfvars file in child module.
