I won’t restrict myself as an actor: Arjun Kapoor

By Hindustan Times

His recently-released debut film Ishaqzaade garnered numerous praise and now, actor Arjun Kapoor says he desires to live as much as everybody’s expectations by experimenting along with his roles. The 26-year-old son of producer Boney Kapoor says that though he has not decided what project to pick out up next, he doesn’t wish to keep on with one genre, and needs to explore himself as an actor.

“I am open to everything and need to be seen as an actor who can play all kinds of characters. IT'S NOT THAT I AM restricting myself to any characterisation and don’t want to get typecast. I MIGHT be at liberty to do a sweet romcom or a hardcore masala film,” says Arjun.

The actor also believes his big break in Bollywood has nothing to do together with his father’s name, and ability is of extreme importance to outlive within the industry.

“Just since you are a producer’s son doesn’t mean you could possibly have a very simple ride. These expectations come right down to nothing while you don’t deliver. Audience doesn’t think like that they're. very sensible and intelligent and it doesn’t matter to them whose son/daughter you are,” he says.
