Varun Dhawan: Technicians Deserve More Recognition
Bollywood star to host IIFA 2027 in Abu Dhabi, pushing for greater appreciation of behind-the-scenes workers
Varun Dhawan is set to make his hosting debut at the IIFA 2027 awards, which will take place on January 22-23, 2027, in Abu Dhabi. The Bollywood star has expressed his desire for award shows to give more recognition to technicians, the behind-the-scenes workers who play a crucial role in the film industry.
As the son of a technician, Varun Dhawan has a personal connection to the issue. He recently spoke at the IIFA 2027 press conference in Mumbai, where he emphasized the importance of celebrating cinema and giving technicians their due credit.
The IIFA 2027 awards aim to do just that, with Varun Dhawan among the hosts. The event will bring together some of the biggest names in Bollywood to celebrate the best of Indian cinema.
## Why it matters The push for greater recognition of technicians is a significant one, as it highlights the often-overlooked contributions of these workers to the film industry. As Salman Khan noted, things are changing in the industry, and this shift towards greater appreciation of technicians is a welcome development.
The IIFA 2027 awards will be an opportunity for the film industry to come together and celebrate the hard work and dedication of technicians, as well as the stars who bring the films to life. With Varun Dhawan at the helm, the event is sure to be an exciting and memorable one.
