Arjun Kapoor made a triumphant comeback with Singham Again after his previous films failed to achieve significant box office success. Both critics and fans are now applauding his villainous character. However, he recently disclosed that he was going through the “worst phase” of his life—personally, professionally, emotionally, mentally, and physically—when he signed the Rohit Shetty movie.
During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, Arjun Kapoor disclosed that he saw Rohit Shetty’s instruction to concentrate on his appearance for the film as a “stepping stone” toward his own growth.
The actor added that he used to wonder whether the action was worthwhile or if it would actually work out while filming the actioner. He even had doubts about his passion for movies and wondered if people would still care about him or reject him.
“I have never been with all the other actors to that degree, I was very isolated during my shoot,” he stated, adding that there was baggage. He was confident in his abilities to do the character, but he was unsure if people would engage with him.
His rough phase ended up being a period of reflection during which he came to the conclusion that less is more. He also wouldn’t have expected to see these kinds of movies at the time. The actor revealed that he was not receiving the best offers, saying, “I was also going through a very internal beat, so it’s not like I didn’t do it because I didn’t want to work.” He wasn’t very thrilled about it as a result.
Recently, Arjun took to his Instagram and penned an emotional post. He shared that ‘Singham Again’ feels like his debut again and called it Arjun 2.0. He expressed, “Here’s to turning non-believers into believers! Every question & doubt only fueled my determination to work harder and come back stronger.”
The actor further added, “To everyone who cheered for me then and still does now – thank you. Your support means everything. To those who doubted me, thank you for pushing me to prove myself again!”
Rohit Shetty’s action-packed drama continues to roar at the box office. The film is inching towards crossing ₹250 crore. The film also features Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff and others.
