If you've watched a big-screen release in the last few years and found yourself moved by a child actor who held his own against some of Bollywood's biggest names — there's a very good chance that was Varun Buddhadev. Now 18, Varun has become one of India's most recognisable young talents, and he's just taken his next big step: his very own official merchandise line, V Clothing, launching exclusively on JUNOONI.com.

From Child Actor to Cultural Icon

Varun's journey started at the age of eight with a television commercial — an unlikely beginning for someone who would go on to win India's highest cinematic honour. In 2022, he was awarded the 68th National Film Award for Best Child Actor for his performance in Toolsidas Junior (2022), where he starred opposite Rajiv Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. The award was presented by the President of India — a moment that announced Varun's arrival on the national stage.

Since then, the roles have only grown bigger. He appeared in SS Rajamouli's globally acclaimed RRR, played a young Chhatrapati Shivaji in Chhaava alongside Vicky Kaushal, and took on a key role in Kadak Singh. Across these diverse films — historical epics, social dramas, action blockbusters — Varun has proven he's far more than a one-hit wonder.

"He's the first choice of Indian filmmakers due to his extraordinary acting skills and exemplary professional behaviour at such a young age."

Off screen, Varun has cultivated a deeply engaged digital community. With over 2 million followers on Instagram (@buddhadevvarun), he regularly shares style content, candid moments, and personal projects. His audience isn't just watching — they're invested.

Now Streaming on Netflix: Hello Bachhon (2026)

Varun's most recent work has taken him to a whole new platform — and a whole new audience. In March 2026, the Netflix × TVF series Hello Bachhon started streaming globally, and Varun's performance as Ankit Yadav is one of its most talked-about highlights.

The series — directed by Pratish Mehta and created by Abhishek Yadav (the mind behind Kota Factory) — is based on the real story of Alakh Pandey and PhysicsWallah, the educator who brought affordable quality coaching to millions of students across India. The show follows two parallel journeys: a teacher determined to make quality education accessible, and students navigating real hardships in a fiercely competitive system.

Varun plays Ankit Yadav, a student whose arc challenges gender stereotypes in a small-town school. His character initially appears to look down on his classmate Tripti, but ultimately becomes the one who pushes her back into education and towards topping her district in the NEET — a complete subversion of what audiences expect. It's a layered, emotionally resonant role, and reviewers have singled him out among a strong ensemble cast.

Hello Bachhon holds an IMDb rating of 8.2+ and is streaming in 33 languages worldwide — giving Varun Buddhadev one of his most globally visible roles yet.

The series has five episodes and is subtitled in 33 languages, with dubbed versions available in English, Hindi, Polish, Spanish (Latin America), Tamil, and Telugu — a scale that puts Varun's work in front of a genuinely global audience for the first time. If you discovered him through Hello Bachhon on Netflix and are here looking for his official merch — you're in the right place.

Introducing V Clothing: Varun's Official Merch on JUNOONI

JUNOONI is proud to be the exclusive official merchandise partner for Varun Buddhadev. The V Clothing summer collection is now live on JUNOONI — the first time fans can buy genuine, officially licensed merch bearing Varun's name and aesthetic.

V Clothing is designed with the same energy Varun brings to his work: relaxed but deliberate, youthful but considered. Think clean silhouettes, quality fabrics, and designs that feel personal rather than mass-produced.

Why This Merch Is Different

The Indian creator merchandise space has seen a lot of unofficial products — bootlegged prints on aliased storefronts, no quality assurance, no creator involvement. V Clothing on JUNOONI is the opposite of that.

Every product in the V Clothing range is print-on-demand, which means it's made specifically for your order — no leftover inventory, no quality shortcuts. JUNOONI's fulfilment is handled by certified Indian print partners with end-to-end quality checks, and every order comes with a GST-compliant invoice.

The JUNOONI Story: India's Creator Commerce Platform

JUNOONI launched in December 2025 with a clear mission: give India's creators — film stars, musicians, digital artists, athletes — a trustworthy, fully managed platform to sell official merchandise without upfront investment or logistics headaches.

The platform operates on a simple premise. Creators bring their brand; JUNOONI handles everything else — product design, printing, fulfilment, GST compliance, customer support, and delivery. There's no minimum order quantity, no inventory risk, and no technical complexity. A creator can go from concept to live store in days.

And JUNOONI is growing fast. Beyond managed merch partnerships, JUNOONI is building towards a full creator commerce platform — where creators can own and run their own branded storefronts end-to-end, much like Fourthwall or Spreadshirt, but built specifically for the Indian creator economy. Whether you're a Bollywood star, an independent musician, or a digital creator with a passionate fanbase, JUNOONI will soon give you the tools to launch, manage, and scale your own official merch store — your brand, your store, your revenue.

Varun Buddhadev's V Clothing collection is part of JUNOONI's growing roster of official partnerships. The platform also powers merch for musician Tanishk Bagchi (the "Na Insaafi" collection), and is actively expanding its creator network across Bollywood, music, and digital media.

What Fans Are Saying

"Finally! Official Varun Buddhadev merch I can actually trust. Ordered the hoodie and the quality is really good — fast delivery too."
— Verified JUNOONI customer, Mumbai

Early buyers of the V Clothing collection have highlighted the quality of the fabric, the accuracy of the sizing, and the speed of delivery as standout features. For a fan community that has long had to settle for unofficial or low-quality products, this has been a significant shift.
