Protégé Varun Raps It Up For Guru Karan

To be the nation’s heartthrob and one of the most successful actors of Bollywood, you either need to have a father or a Godfather; and Varun Dhawan seems to have both.

Other than that, he can also count good looks, a great physique, and some amazing dancing skills as his blessings, which is why he is the talk of the town today.

Taking the nation by storm ever since his first movie Student Of The Year that released in the year 2010, Varun has established himself as one of the most promising actors in Bollywood, especially after his last release Badlapur in which he shed his chocolate-boy image and portrayed a 40-something man who wants nothing but revenge for his family.

Even though Varun is the son of famous director David Dhawan who has given several hits to the Indian masses, Varun chose not to debut under his father, which is something unconventional.

Similarly, filmmaker Karan Johar, who until SOTY, had never directed newcomers in his successful career spanning more than a decade, chose to do something unconventional and launch not one but a whole bunch of new talent in the industry with this movie.

Out of this bunch, one was Varun Dhawan, who nailed the role of the unhappily rich Rohan Nanda, fighting with his own family to achieve his dream of being a musician.

Ever since SOTY, the relationship between Karan and Varun has been that of a mentor-protégé one, and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, their second collaboration in two years proved the same.

Three days back, Karan had declared that Varun would also be the lead in the much-awaited Shuddhi. Even though Varun tweeted a thank you to actor Salman Khan who congratulated him for bagging the role, he was yet to publicly thank Karan for this role.

Well, looks like he was waiting for the perfect time to thank Karan for being his mentor, and what day could have been better than Karan’s birthday?

Karan Johar, who turns 43 today, got a song dedicated to him straight from the music album of Varun’s upcoming movie ABCD2, and the song is aptly titled Happy Birthday.

Have a look at the song here:

Varun, who already is known for his dancing skills, has tried something new by rapping a few lines for the song, and we must say that just like Alia Bhatt, his co-star in SOTY, he too has an innate sense of music.

On Varun’s birthday last month, Karan had shared the following image, perfectly describing the lovely bond that they share.
