He is also the nephew of actor Anil Dhawan and is the cousin of actor Siddharth Dhawan. He has a degree in Business Management from the Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom.[2]
Prior to his acting career, Dhawan worked as an assistant director to Karan Johar on his directorial My Name Is Khan (2010).[3] Two years later, Dhawan made his acting debut with Johar's romantic comedy Student of the Year alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt.[3] He was cast as Rohan Nanda, the teenage son of a rich businessman, who competes with his girlfriend (played by Bhatt) and best friend (played by Malhotra) to win an annual school championship. Film critic Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama reviewed: "Varun is excessively talented, supremely confident and hardly look like first-time actor. Photogenic, charming and self-assured,shine in his respective role, enact his part with gusto. Varun is a talent one can't help but marvel at. In fact, Varun is here to stay!"[4] CNN-IBN's Rajeev Masand added: "It’s Varun Dhawan who stands out with a confident, charming turn, able to tackle both comical and vulnerable scenes with ease".[5] Student of the Year was a financial success,[6] grossing INR700 million (US$12 million) domestically.[7]
Dhawan's second release was the comedy Main Tera Hero (2014), a remake of the Telugu film Kandireega, which was produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and directed by his father.[8][9] He played Sreenath "Seenu" Prasad, an impetuous brat, who is in love with Ileana D'Cruz's character but is forced to marry the character played by Nargis Fakhri. Raedita Tandon of Filmfare reviewed: "[T]his movie belongs to Varun Dhawan. From the very first frame, Varun has your undivided attention. He may not be Govinda but his comic timing is impeccable. Especially, for a one-film old actor. Screen presence, acting chops; Prabhudheva like dancing skills, this boy has it all."[10] Mohar Basu of Koimoi added that Dhawan was "an amalgamation of the best attributes of Govinda and Salman Khan, mostly the faultless expression and the impeccable comic timing. Barely two films old, this guy is already a superstar in making and what a fascinating one at that." [11] Main Tera Hero proved to be a box office success with worldwide earnings of INR770 million (US$13 million).[12]
