Professional life/Career Synopsis
In 2012 with Johar’s teen film Student of the Year, Dhawan made his acting debut alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt. As Rohan Nanda, he portrayed a confident teenage son of a rich businessman, who in order to win an annual school championship competes with his girlfriend Shanaya (Alia Bhatt) and best friend Abhimanyu Singh (Sidharth Malhotra). His performance in the role earned him a best male debut nomination at Filmfare. In 2014 he appeared in a romantic comedy, Main Tera Hero, opposite Ileana D’Cruz. The movie was directed by his father and was a remake of the Telegu film Kandireega. Then in debutante writer-director Shashank Khaitan’s romantic comedy Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, he played Rakesh, a flirtatious Punjabi boy who with an engaged Punjabi woman engages in a romantic affair. The movie was described as a tribute to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), co-starring Alia Bhatt.
He played the role of Raghu in Director Sriram Raghavan’s Badlapur (2015) which is a crime thriller wherein a father avenges the murder of his wife and son over the course of 15 years. It was a “terrifying” experience for Dhawan to portray Raghu. For his performance in the film, he received a Filmfare award for best actor nomination.
In a Walt Disney Pictures-produced movie titled Disney’s ABCD 2, Dhawan starred opposite Shraddha Kapoor, in the sequel to the dance film ABCD: Any Body Can Dance. In the film, he portrayed the real-life character of Kings United India founder Suresh Mukund, who is a dancer from Mumbai who won the 2012 World Hip Hop Dance Championship.
Towards the end of the year co-starring with Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Kriti Sanon, he made his appearance in Rohit Shetty’s ensemble action drama Dilwale, in which he played the younger sibling of Khan’s character. However, the critics gave mixed reviews but the movie proved to be a commercial success. Then alongside John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez, he appeared in Rohit Shetty’s action cop comedy, Dishoom (2016).
Next, the romantic comedy, Badrinath ki Dulhania (2017) reunited with Khaitan and Alia Bhatt. For the film, he received his second Best Actor nomination at Filmfare. He next made his appearance in Judwaa 2 alongside Jacqueline Fernandez and Tapsee Pannu, which proved to be commercially successful.

In 2022, he starred alongside Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, and Kiara Advani in Jug jug jeeyo. He will next make his appearance in Dinesh Vijan’s horror film Bhediya, directed by Amar Kaushik and co-starring Kriti Sanon.
