- He wished for Steven Spielberg or Anurag Kashyap to launch him.
- His father, David Dhawan, never launched him as a son.
Actor Varun Dhawan disclosed his early career aspirations involved a Hollywood debut rather than a Bollywood launch.
Dhawan shared on the Be A Man, Yaar! podcast that he had hoped Steven Spielberg or Anurag Kashyap would direct his first film.
He recalled his mother's advice that his father, David Dhawan, would only work with him once he achieved stardom, as he had never previously launched his own son.

Previously, Dhawan was seen in 'Border 2,' which grossed over 400 crore globally. His upcoming film, 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai,' is set for release on June 12, 2026.
