Varun Dhawan, a Bollywood actor, has decided to take a long break from his acting career to focus on spending time with his family, including his young daughter, Lara. Dhawan will take a break after his upcoming film Border 2 premieres, and he will stay away from films until he completes his next cinematic project.

The decision comes after a particularly hectic period in Dhawan’s career, marked by his work on multiple films and promotional obligations. The actor’s friends confirm his intention to use this free time for family activities, which has elicited positive reactions from both fans and his colleagues.

Dhawan will not be filming at the moment, but his work will continue to show in theatres. His father, David Dhawan, has directed the romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, which now has a new release date of June 12, 2026. The date was changed to one week later to avoid box-office competition with superstar Yash’s movie Toxic. Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur join the star-studded cast, which guarantees a movie that will showcase both romantic chemistry and comedic entertainment.

Dhawan achieved new career milestones through his performance in Border 2, which became his most successful film and the highest-grossing Indian movie of 2023. After his temporary break from acting, he will return to movies, as his fans will see him in upcoming projects that showcase his renewed passion for acting.
