Arjun Kapoor in two films has been seen portraying the antagonist of film which is based on author Chetan Bhagat's novels.
However, Arjun says, "I have never read a Chetan Bhagat book in my life. But yes, I have worked on two films adapted from his novels. I think I never faced any problem on that because none of my directors suggested me to read them and those scripts were pretty substantial for me to understand the character. "Since in both the films, Chetan was a part of the scripting process, I am sure he kept the essence of the character."
The film is helmed by Mohit Suri and shows the journey of a man from Bihar who faces difficulty due to his lack of command over the English language.
On this Arjun said, "In my daily life, if someone is not comfortable to speak in English, I quickly start speaking in Hindi as I am at ease with both the languages. But judging someone based on that... I don't do that consciously.However, the thought crosses our mind for once."
"We develop this mentality where knowing English is mandatory to get work opportunity, and to socialize with urban people... So it's an unsaid thought developed in our subconscious mind," he added.
Arjun on working with Suri said, "I think this is a very special film because he has given me arguably the best and toughest role yet. My character Madhav Jha is a selfless man who is preparing himself to do something good for his villagers, especially women.
"You really do not get a chance to play such a character in a love story in the present time. And working with Mohit made me live through the character. I think that is why working with the right director for the right character is important for an actor to grow," Arjun stated in last.
