Varun Dhawan: Student of the year has graduated to the Big League

Known mostly for his playful roles in Bollywood hits like ‘Main Tera Hero’, ‘Coolie No.1’, ‘Judwaa’, Student of the Year’, Varun Dhawan has become a heartthrob of Bollywood. His winsome smile and comedic timing makes Dhawan a popular ad bankable star. 

At the same time, he he has also shown his ‘serious’ side in movies like ‘Badlapur’, ‘October’, ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’, ‘Sui Dhaaga’ and more. 

Though the son of a major league filmmaker David Dhawan, Dhawan, instead of a big ticket launch, started out in Bollywood as an assistant director to Karan Johar for Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘My Name is Khan’. But he did get his ‘big launch’ along with Siddharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt in Karan Johar’s college caper, ‘Student of the Year’. 

After his big launch, Dhawan took a break for 2 years before appearing in two hit movies – ‘Main Tera Hero’ and ‘Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania’, with the latter emerging as one of the top-grossing Indian productions of the year, with earnings of Rs 1.11 billion worldwide. As per media reports, Dhawan is the only actor in the history of Hindi cinema to feature in no less than 11 Box-Office successes in a row from the inception of his career. 

Along with his acting career, Dhawan also performs on stage and has co-hosted two award ceremonies. In 2013, he performed at the Filmfare, Screen, and Stardust award ceremonies, and at an event in Hong Kong along with hosting the Stardust award ceremony in 2013. He was part of the 20th Screen Awards, co-hosting the show alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Richa Chadda.
