Varun dedicated his newly-released song from upcoming movie "ABCD 2" to celebrate his first director's 43rd birthday.
Aptly titled "Happy Birthday", the song marks Varun's debut as a rapper. It starts with a birthday party for choreographer-actor Punit Pathak and then moves to behind-the-scenes of the "Badlapur" star rapping in a studio.
"#HappyBirthdayKaranJohar @karanjohar hope you have the most amazing year big hug. Wanna dedicate this song to you," he posted on Twitter.
Johar, who made his full-fledged acting debut this year with Anurag Kashyap's period drama "Bombay Velvet", was also wished by Alia and Sidharth.
Alia tweeted, "Happy birthday to my favourite @karanjohar !!!!! Love you love you to the stars and back."
Shraddha Kapoor, who did an item number in Johar's "Ungli", said, "Happy birthday @karanjohar! Wish you never ending happiness, success & hit movies for life!"
"Ungli" star Emraan Hashmi wrote, "Happy birthday @karanjohar! Hope you have a fantastic year."
"Here's wishing @karanjohar a very happy bday. Have a super year. Much love," tweeted Shahid Kapoor.
