Ranveer and I have terrific chemistry: Arjun Kapoor

In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Arjun Kapoor candidly spoke about his film Gunday with Ranveer Singh. The Singham Again actor said, “A film called Gunday, to give title roles to us on the cusp of maybe 2-2 films being done. The way they set us up, the way Ali (Abbas Zafar) shot us, the way he presented us, the songs, the scale, the styling, the attitude.”

Speaking about his Gunday co-stars Priyanka Chopra and Irrfan Khan, “Priyanka Chopra was a big star... she still is, but what I mean is she was out of our league, just like she is in the film in that sense, and then she did the film. Then Irrfan sir, to have the pleasure of working with him, to be this opposition force. Ali mounted it; Adi sir (Aditya Chopra) believed that was the way to really connect with the masses.”

He furthermore shared that, “At that point in time, we were going through a multiplex era where there was a slight bit of looking at a distance from mass, mainstream material. Gunday is exactly what today is being celebrated; it's high octane; it's larger than life.”

Mentioning about his bond with Ranveer Singh, “It gave all of us a chance to show people that Ranveer and I have terrific chemistry, which today’s carried forward.” For the unversed, Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh were recently in Rohit Shetty directorial Singham Again.
