Actor Arjun Kapoor is undoubtedly in the best phase of his career. He had two releases in 2017 - Half Girlfriend and Mubarakan - and both turned out to be immensely successful for all the stakeholders involved.
The actor has an impressive lineup of films ahead. He will soon start shooting for Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar with Parineeti Chopra. Produced by Yash Raj Films, the project is being helmed by award-winning filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee.
The next film in his hand is Namastey Canada. The Vipul Amrutlal Shah directorial also features Parineeti Chopra as his leading lady. Besides these two movies, Arjun is also in talks to star in a film called Farzi. Kriti Sanon might play his heroine in the flick.
And now, the next project Kapoor is being associated with is veteran actor Saurabh Shukla's untitled directorial venture. The actor-turned-filmmaker, who last directed Pappu Can't Dance Saala (2011) almost six years ago, is all set to call the shots again and might rope in Kapoor in the film.
Touted to be a courtroom drama, the yet-to-be-titled film will see Arjun as a raw, down-to-earth, but aggressive and cynical lawyer.
Talking about the film Shukla says, "I do have plans of directing. The film with Arjun will be announced in the right way when it happens. I would love to work with every artist in this industry, and Arjun is a bright, young, hardworking and talented actor."
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
