He also spoke highly of Irrfan Khan, who played an important role in the movie, and how working with such experienced actors made the experience special.

Arjun also shared that Gunday would have been an even bigger hit if it had been released today. He explained, “Back then, the trend was different, but now Gunday’s larger-than-life style and action are exactly what people enjoy watching.”

Arjun is currently seen in Singham Again, where he plays the villain Danger Lanka. The film has been a big success at the box office, crossing Rs 130 crore in just four days and reaching Rs 173 crore in its first week.
