Arjun Kapoor calls himself an ‘underrated actor’: ‘I am more of an underdog’

Arjun Kapoor is one of the most popular actors of Bollywood. Arjun made his acting debut with Ishaqzaade and then, there was no looking back for him. He has been a part of many films including Ki & Ka, Half Girlfriend and more. In a recent interview, Arjun has said that he is an underrated actor and an ‘underdog’. He also added that people believe him to be a mainstream hero.

The actor told Indian Express, “I feel I am generally a bit underrated and more of an underdog when it comes to performance. People imagine that I am a better mainstream hero.”

Arjun added, “But I guess it is the culture and nature of this business where sometimes because of the lineage you come from, or the kind of expressive nature you have off camera where you’re unabashedly filmy, and I am kind of unapologetically that, so maybe that kind of takes more precedence over your regard for the purity of cinema. But I have both in equal measure.”

The actor also said that he feels people discuss craft but ‘they don’t know it much’. He went on to add, “The problem is, right now to be able to speak about craft. I’ve not heard one person having an actual conversation about craft when it comes to the media or social media about an actor, per se. I feel people who are discussing craft don’t know it themselves. The craft they’ve learnt is clickbait, and it is an easy craft, it means talking negatively about everything. What’s tougher is to have two lines written with logical sense. At some point, critcis and commercialism need to align a little more.”

Arjun recently delivered a terrific performance in Ek Villain Returns. Up next, Arjun will be seen in The Lady Killer. He also has Kuttey with Tabu, Radhika Madan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Naseeruddin Shah and Kumud Mishra.
