Actor Arjun Kapoor doesn’t consider it appropriate to ponder over lost chances. This was evident when he deemed it as “trivial” to discuss whether he regrets not getting a chance to work in Kabir Khan’s 1983.
Kapoor was reportedly considered for the Kabir Khan film on India’s victory in the 1983 World Cup, but fellow actor Ranveer Singh was finally locked in to play the role of Kapil Dev in the movie.
Kapoor says the film is very important for the entire nation and so, he does not want to trivialise it by talking about himself.
Asked if he has any regrets about not working in that film, Kapoor said: “I don’t think that is the question to answer because primarily, it’s not something that I am doing. There are too many facets and factors involved with certain films and when some names are affiliated with some films, then there is a lot of misunderstanding. So, it is inappropriate on my side to talk about these issues.
“If and when I do feel speaking about things which are other people’s films, then I would. But I feel it’s unfair to the cricketing legends that are involved with this film, for me or for us to trivialise the film. It’s an important film for the entire nation.”
The actor is currently busy and working on Dibakar Banerjee’s Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, along with Parineeti Chopra.
“I am deeply involved in Dibakar sir’s film. I will not go much into details of it because it will come out soon. I have been travelling with him, I spent lot of time with him in Delhi to get into skin of the character. It’s a film that is based in a realistic texture, so I had to spend time connecting with that world where the film is set, and I am working hard on that,” he said.
