Spanning Hollywood, K-pop, and international pop culture, the annual list celebrates personalities who have made a strong impact through their on-screen presence, style, and widespread popularity. Varun’s inclusion reflects his consistent visibility and appeal beyond Indian cinema, placing him among some of the most recognisable faces worldwide.

Over the years, Varun Dhawan has built a diverse body of work, balancing romantic entertainers, action-driven films, and performance-led roles. Known for his mainstream appeal and adaptability, the actor has steadily expanded his reach, both in terms of content choices and public profile. His presence on the list brings an Indian representation to a global mix that ranges from Harry Styles’ fashion-forward persona to Chris Evans’ long-standing Hollywood charisma.

Fans were quick to celebrate Varun’s inclusion, with many pointing out the growing visibility of Indian actors on international platforms. While such lists are largely driven by popularity and cultural presence, they also highlight how Indian cinema continues to find space in global conversations around entertainment and style.

On the work front, Varun Dhawan is currently gearing up for the release of Border 2, an epic action war film directed by Anurag Singh. The film, which also stars Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, is scheduled to hit cinemas on January 23, coinciding with the Republic Day weekend.

In addition to Border 2, Varun has a busy slate ahead. He will be seen in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, co-starring Pooja Hegde and Mrunal Thakur, a romantic comedy entertainer that has already generated considerable buzz. The actor is also soon expected to return as Bhaskar in Bhediya 2, the sequel to the popular horror-comedy, expanding the Maddock supernatural universe further.

With a mix of commercial and content-driven projects lined up, Varun Dhawan continues to maintain a strong presence on screen — and now, on the global pop culture radar as well.
