Three films old Varun Dhawan might have started off as an assistant director, but it's acting that holds a special place in his life.

"I was craving for a day off and I finally got it but as the day turns to night I can't wait to get back to work. I love being an actor," tweeted Varun, who will soon get busy with the promotion of his forthcoming film "Badlapur".

"Badla badla badla #badlapur gonna start promotions on feb1st," he added.

Before making his acting debut in 2012 with "Student of the Year", he assisted filmmaker Karan Johar on Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "My Name is Khan".
