Varun Dhawan

In his six years in the industry, Varun Dhawan has effortlessly established himself as every director's first choice, among the young crop of actors, for masala movies. But the youngster refuses to be confined to being a masala film hero — his upcoming release, October, is proof of that. A far cry from his commercial entertainers like Judwaa 2 (2017), Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) or Main Tera Hero (2014), the movie sees him trying his hand at a mature love story. Dhawan insists it was a conscious decision to veer towards the Shoojit Sircar directed-venture.
