'''Shafeeq Talwanga''' is an [[India]]n actor, who has primarily worked in [[Malayalam]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.malayalachalachithram.com/movieslist.php?a=6869|title=List of Malayalam Movies acted by Shafeeq|accessdate=2015-04-17|publisher=www.malayalachalachithram.com}}</ref> [[Telugu language|Telugu]] and [[Tamil language|Tamil]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://spicyonion.com/actor/varunraj-movies-list/|title=List of Tamil Movies acted by Shafeeq|accessdate=2015-04-17|publisher=spicyonion}}</ref> films. He appears mainly in offbeat films.<br />
<br />
His debut [[Malayalam]] film ''Love Story'' was a sensational hit and he was considered as a rival to ''[[Rahman (actor)|Rahman]]'', the romantic hero of [[Malayalam]] films. It was Shafeeq, who brought ''Break Dance'' movements in [[Malayalam]] films, but his subsequent movies like ''Naalae Njngalude Vivaham'' failed and he could not sustain his success.<br />
<br />
His Tamil entry as Sanjay in ''Odangal'' also met lukewarm response. He later did low-budget films like ''Kalpana House''.<br />
<br />
In 90's, he rechristened himself as '''Varun Raj''', grew a moustache and tried working again in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] films like ''Thoothu Po Chellakiliye'', ''Padhukappu'', ''Athipathi'' and [[Manivannan]]' s ''[[Gangai Karai Paattu]]'', with little success. He has also done a [[Bollywood]] movie titled ''[[Khuli Khidki]]''.<br />
