Varun Dhawan is set to take centre stage as the host of IIFA 2027, marking the actor’s first stint as the main host of the prestigious global celebration of Indian cinema.
The actor has always been known for his instinctive comic timing, irrepressible energy and ability to command a live audience, but in his maiden outing as host, Varun will bring his full performer arsenal to the IIFA stage, from dance and comedy to spontaneous interactions and banter with Bollywood’s biggest stars. Over the years, the actor has seamlessly moved between boy-next-door charm, full-blown showman and comic entertainer, and IIFA 2027 will give him the perfect canvas to bring all these facets together.
One of Hindi cinema’s most accomplished mainstream dancers, Varun will put his performance skills front and centre, bringing his signature dance energy to the IIFA stage. But it will be his ability to own the unscripted moments that will add another dimension to the night. With the who’s who of Indian cinema in attendance, Varun will lead the evening with celebrity banter, spontaneous interactions, unexpected pairings and plenty of moments of Bollywood camaraderie.
His hosting stint will also see him move effortlessly across generations of the film fraternity. From trading jokes with Bollywood veterans to matching steps with the industry’s youngest stars, Varun will bring his easy familiarity with the fraternity to the forefront. This is a room he knows and a room that knows him making him the perfect person to connect the audience, the stars and the spectacle that IIFA is known for.
