Arslan Goni on his role in ‘Jia Aur Jia’: It is not just an eye-candy role

Arslan Goni is all set to make his Bollywood debut with ‘Jia Aur Jia’. The movie stars Richa Chadha and Kalki Koechlin in the lead roles, and they are the protagonists in the film. After watching the trailer, we felt that Arslan plays the role of an eye-candy in the movie which has two strong female characters as the lead.

We recently spoke to Arslan and asked him that since ‘Jia Aur Jia’ seems to be about two female characters, what’s his role in the film. The actor said, “I am the ‘Aur’ of the film. Basically, it’s the story of two girls coming to Sweden for a holiday and they meet this local half Indian-half Swed sculptor over there. Then it’s all about how they get into friendship, how the things heat on, and I am not allowed to reveal more than this. That’s what I can tell you, but, my character is very rich spoilt guy who gets a different prospective in life after seeing these two people and the baggage they come with.”[sic] (Also Check: ‘Jia Aur Jia’ teaser: This Richa and Kalki-starrer looks super fun)

We went on to say that with the trailer of this film, looks like gone are the days when actresses were eye-candy in the films, as after watching the trailer, he is the one who looks to be an eye-candy, in a female-oriented movie. The actor quipped to the same, saying, “That’s the first, I have never heard that before. I really can’t comment on how I am looking in the film, I hope people like it, but it is not just an eye-candy role. It is a very very meaningful role. It is much more than eye-candy.”

Well, we are definitely waiting to catch this movie.
