Arjun Kapoor has said that he is an underestimated actor and an “underdog “, saying that individuals believe him to be a mainstream hero. Arjun said that he has an unapologetically filmy attitude off camera, yet likewise has respect for the purity of cinema.
In a recent interaction with Indian Express, Arjun Kapoor said, “I feel I am generally a bit underrated and more of an underdog when it comes to performance. People imagine that I am a better mainstream hero. But I guess it is the culture and nature of this business, where sometimes, because of the lineage you come from, or the kind of expressive nature you have off camera where you’re unabashedly filmy, and I am kind of unapologetically that, so maybe that kind of takes more precedence over your regard for the purity of cinema. But I have both in equal measure.”
The actor likewise claimed that individuals discuss the craft in media and social media but have little knowledge about it. “The problem is, right now to be able to speak about craft. I’ve not heard one person having an actual conversation about craft when it comes to the media or social media about an actor, per se. I feel people who are discussing craft don’t know it themselves. The craft they’ve learnt is clickbait, and it is an easy craft, it means talking negatively about everything. What’s tougher is to have two lines written with logical sense. At some point, critics and commercialism need to align a little more,” he told the daily.
After Ek Vilaain Returns, Arjun has a couple of movies lined up next. These include Kuttey along with Konkona Sensharma, Naseeruddin Shah, Radhika Madaan and Tabu. He likewise has The Ladykiller opposite Bhumi Pednekar ready to go.
