Arjun Kapoor has confirmed that he will start shooting for India’s Most Wanted from August. He said that he is honoured to be a part of an untold story that will inspire India, and that India's Most Wanted is a tribute to all the unsung heroes who dedicate their lives to protect ours.
Arjun mentioned this while interacting with the media at the 68th-anniversary celebration of Navbharat Times Utsav, 2018, on June 29 in Mumbai. The 2 States actor has a number of films in the pipeline.
During the celebrations, when asked whether he has watched the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju, Arjun said, “I wasn’t able to see it. I met Ranbir (Kapoor) few days back when we were at IIFA. I am very happy the way trailer of that film has been appreciated by the audience and now after the release as well. I think that film is heading towards doing magnificent business. It’s a milestone in Ranbir and Vicky’s (Kaushal) career. Rajkumar Hirani, of course, is a fantastic storyteller. This year has been really fruitful for the film industry and Sanju is continuing that trend which is very good for the film industry.”
Talking about his upcoming projects, Arjun said, “Namaste England with Parineeti Chopra is releasing on Dusshera in October and after that Dibakar Banerjee’s Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar will release. India’s Most Wanted and Panipat will also release in the coming period." Arjun hopes that these four films receive much more love and appreciation from the audience than his previous films.
"The kind of love I have received from the audience in the past seven years, I hope these four films will get double or triple times the love and appreciation. It is an exciting year for me. I have finished shooting for Namaste England and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. I will start shooting for India’s Most Wanted from August. It is directed by Raj Kumar Gupta. I am trying to do different kinds of films. Let’s see how the audience responds to it,” the actor added.
In India’s Most Wanted, Arjun plays the character of an intelligence officer. It will be shot in Nepal and Delhi. The film will be about finding and arresting a terrorist during a secret mission.
Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, the film releases on May 24.
