Arjun Kapoor has been slapped yet again by Parineeti Chopra! Strictly on screen, of course, and in their upcoming film 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar', after their 2012 co-starrer 'Ishaqzaade'.
Arjun says the situation is "real because that is what the director wanted".
"I have been slapped yet again by Parineeti like I was in 'Ishaqzaade' and that trend continues! But it was not pressuring because you have read a script and you have understood the demand of the character and circumstances, and it comes in a moment of emotional chaos in both their lives, so it is not like I am beating her up. I don`t think I would play a character like that," he added.
Arjun Kapoor who will be next seen in Dibakar Banerjee's upcoming film says that the movie focuses on violence against women.
"Violence against women is taken seriously by someone like me who has grown up in an environment surrounded by women. I firmly believe when you are doing a character you have to step out of being your personal self and believe that you have signed up to play a character because people like that exist in society," Arjun told IANS
'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar' is set to release theatrically on March 19. He said the film has been ready, and therefore "we must help our theatres and find audiences to come back and enjoy the film-watching experience".
