The general way would be to cd (or pushd) "$f1" before running unzip.

The unzip command also has a -d argument which lets you specify a
directory where the output should go.

bash thinks that the variable name is var1_filename, not var1,
because an underscore is allowed to be part of a variable name in bash.
You can instead refer to "${var1}_filename.csv".
