When Varun Dhawan made his big Bollywood debut in Karan Johar‘s Student Of The Year, back in 2012, more than just a handful of critics stood up and took notice.

Sure, he shared screen time with Sidharth Malhotra, but through the film, Varun held his own and was critically acclaimed for his performance.

Now, two years later, Varun will be seen on the big screen again in his second film, Main Tera Hero, which has him in the lead role co-starring with Nargis Fakhri and Ileana D’Cruz.

The trailer was officially released in Mumbai yesterday, where all three stars came together along with producer Ekta Kapoor and director David Dhawan (Varun’s dad).

However, even though a number of new stars have been launched in Bollywood over the past two years, here are five reasons we think Varun Dhawan should be Bollywood’s next hero No.1:

HE’S GOT THE MOVES

Varun is a very fluid dancer and knows how to shake his booty for maximum impact. We particularly loved him in the song Vele from SOTY.

Being the good looking boy that he is, Varun is a total chick-magnet. Apart from being linked to Alia Bhatt (which is definitely not true), he’s supposedly been in a long term relationship with a girl named Natasha Dalal.

Any hero must have multiple link-ups and Varun hasn’t done too bad with these stories recurring in the press from time to time.

Apart from romancing hot women and showing them his best moves (on and off the dance floor), a true hero must have a good sense of humour. At the trailer launch yesterday, Varun said, “Comedy is in my blood. I have inherited that. It is like a reflex action in my body.”

Of course, he didn’t have to go too far to learn how to tickle our ribs, his father is known as the comedy king of Bollywood.

Check out the trailer below which proves that Varun has great comic timing and bang-on expressions.

He’S GOT THE BOD

Let’s be honest, the hero always has to have a banging hot bod and from among the newer crop of Bollywood actors, Varun seems to have one of the best physiques.

His ripped abs, chiseled chest and rippling biceps would make any heroine swoon in his arms – multiple times over!

HE’S GOT STYLE & SWAG

A hero must always be spiffy, dandy and well-dressed! And Varun – who is always well groomed and well dressed at public events – seems to have aced the style stakes. His style is sporty and preppy, even when he’s performing on stage.

Did you see this look from the Screen Awards? And this Indian avatar at Ekta Kapoor’s Diwali party? Don’t you love both of them?

Don’t you agree that Varun has what it takes to be your hero?
