Arjun Kapoor's previous film 'Namaste England' may not have done at the box office, but his hopes are not low from his upcoming film Panipat. In this meeting, he is talking about the memes, movies, characters, failures, his mother and sisters made on his looks.

Was there any hesitation in shaving the head for the role of Sadashiv Rao Bhau of Panipat?
(Laughs) I asked Ashu sir (director Ashutosh Gowariker) whether I would look bad and good? He said, 'I am converted, keep a look test to reassure you.' It is obvious that the Peshwa has a look at the top. He got my look tested and told me that the shape of my head looks right. He used to say, 'You are feeling Peshwa. The Peshwa was bald and long, and your body structure is like Peshwa. I felt, when the director is so confident, I have to believe it. While shaving my hair, I worried more than hesitation about how I would look. I had to wear a hat for 6-8 months and I managed it. Now when I see myself on the big screen, it felt like getting my hair shaved was right".

But what about the memes that are being made on the look of your Peshwa Sadashiv Rao Bhau?
To be honest, I smile at everything. I have seen so many big things in my life that I avoid them jokingly. I would just like to say that whoever wants to have fun, they have to think that this is a story of real people. These people were martyred for our country. You will never make memes about Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose. You will not make fun of his turban, because he is a symbol of respect. You forget that two years ago, a film (Bajirao Mastani) came on this look, which was made on Peshwas and Marathas. There will be laughter and jokes in your mind, but you cannot insult those who gave up their lives for their country. We are all young, pulling each other's legs. I have roasted myself, but at one point you have to think that you are not hurting anyone with your joke. You are not trolling Arjun Kapoor, but making memes on those jams of history, who have not shied away from sacrificing their lives for the country. But you are engaged on social media".
