Sunil Grover became a household name after he came on the show Comedy Nights With Kapil. The actor was recently seen in Salman Khan starrer Bharat in which he played the role of Vilayti Khan. His performance impressed one and all. And now, Sunil has turned narrator for Diljit Dosanjh and Kriti Sanon starrer Arjun Patiala.
Talking about roping in Sunil, director Rohit Jugraj told a tabloid, “We tried a couple of voices, but something was missing. We wanted someone who could imitate the vibe of the retro radio days. One day, Sunil was at the same studio as us, and upon hearing us out, got the tone we needed a spot on effortlessly.”
The director reveals that he is a fan of Sunil. He said, “His presence just added more quirk to the comedy. Like everyone else, even I am his fan. He is making his place in Bollywood with good roles in different genres.” Rohit also stated that the longest time, people couldn’t guess whose voice it was. “In fact, even our cast didn’t know till we told them,” he added.
Arjun Patiala is a spoof comedy, a genre that is not much explored in Bollywood. The trailer of the film was released a few days ago and it has received a decent response. The movie also stars Varun Sharma and the actor is the show stealer in the trailer.
While talking about the film, Kriti had told us, “Arjun Patiala is a different kind of comedy. It’s a spoofy comedy, which I don’t think has been done much in the industry before. It has been done a lot in the west, for example, parody movies like Deadpool and Scary Movie. Arjun Patiala is a fresh take on comedy. We are making fun of how a buddy cop film is like while making the same buddy cop movie. So I think, it is a film that is really gonna crack you up. Arjun Patiala is different in terms of the flavour of comedy. I feel this film will connect with the kids very well because the way things are being shown in it. I can’t explain why and how, but there is a lot for the kids to enjoy.”
Arjun Patiala is produced by Dinesh Vijan and it is slated to release on 26th July 2019. The film will be clashing with Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao starrer Mental Hai Kya and Sonakshi Sinha starrer Khaandani Shafakhana.
