The year 2015 was a special one for the actor. At the outset, he had a brilliant film like Badlapur that won his laurels from public and critics alike. He followed it up with ABCD2, which was again loved by kids. The actor’s dancing prowess was on full display in the film. Varun rounded off the year with Dilwale.
