What’s playing on Arjun’s mind? An actioncomedy film!

Be it romcoms such as 2 States (2014) and Ki & Ka (2016), comedies like Mubarakan; 2017 or action films such as Gunday (2014) and Tevar (2015), Arjun Kapoor has had a tryst with various genres till date. But there’s still one genre that the actor yearns to experiment with. “Mujhe actually ek action-comedy film karni hai, something like Bad Boys. But till date, I haven’t been offered anything that has such a combination. Even Men In Black (1997) is a good example of such a movie. I don’t know how to describe it but when I say an action-comedy, it shouldn’t be too heavy or too light,” he says.

Arjun says the “idea is to mix the two genres (action and comedy) nicely.” He explains: “In India, the best example would be Dishoom. In fact, I would also love to do a nice two-hero action comedy film. It will give me an opportunity to just enjoy myself in a goodlooking action film that also has a heavy dose of comedy. It is a great genre for someone like me who has not done it till date,” he says.

Currently, Arjun is busy shooting for Raid director, Rajkumar Gupta’s next. “Yes, right now, I am neck-deep into Rajkumar sir’s film, which is a dramatic, espionage thriller. It has a lot of elements that I am very keen on trying, so, that’s a tick mark on my list. Now, an action-comedy would be very exciting. It’s also because that’s exactly what I have not done in my career. However, if you ask me as a viewer, I like watching all kinds of films barring horror. Horror nahi dekhta main,” says the actor with a laugh.
