The actor says his journey in cinema has been of immense learning and that he only wishes to entertain audiences thoroughly in the next decade of his career.

Arjun says, “It feels incredible to have completed 10 years in this cut-throat industry where your destiny is written and re-written every Friday! I’m fortunate that I got a debut like Ishaqzaade that catapulted me to overnight recognitio­n and fame. I was fortunate that my next few films got me success and acclaim, and I’m deeply thankful to all the filmmakers who have made me a part of their projects. They are the architects of my career, and they have shaped my journey in cinema.”

He adds, “Along the way, I hopefully became a better performer and became more and more serious about my craft and the projects that I want to be associated with. My journey in cinema has been that of immense learning. My successes and failures have both taught me to be grounded and made me constantly reinvent myself on screen. Today, I feel great that I’m viewed as a Mainstream Hindi film hero who can also convincing­ly headline off-centre content forward films like

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Kuttey, and The Lady Killer.”

They have been great motivators, constantly telling me to look ahead and beyond my failures or successes,” he gushes.

They reflect the headspace that I’m currently in as an actor and performer. I hope to win as much love as possible with these projects. These films will set up my next decade in cinema, and I hope to entertain everyone thoroughly,” he concludes.
