We
Are
Family
has
had
a
good
opening
and
is
turning
out
to
be
yet
another
decent
success
of
this
season.
How
far
it
eventually
would
go
would
be
known
next
week
but
as
of
now,
this
Karan
Johar
production
is
certainly
on
safe
grounds.
Before
the
release
of
the
film,
a
few
were
apprehensive
that
due
to
mighty
presence
of
Kajol
and
Kareena,
Arjun
could
perhaps
be
sidelined.
However,
now
that
the
film
has
released,
audience
can
see
that
Arjun
actually
had
a
good
role
to
play
in
the
film's
narrative.
"Well,
Arjun
always
had
a
place
of
his
own
in
We
Are
Family,"
says
Karan
who
stood
behind
his
lead
actor
right
through
the
making
of
the
film
and
release.
"During
the
writing
process
itself,
it
was
made
sure
that
Arjun
had
a
meaty
part.
He
was
never
supposed
to
be
a
bystander
with
two
females
around
him.
You
can
see
for
yourself
the
kind
of
wonderful
moments
that
he
shares
not
just
with
the
two
women
but
also
his
three
kids," adds
the
film
maker.
When
it
comes
to
Arjun
Rampal,
the
first
image
that
comes
to
mind
is
a
handsome
personality
with
an
attitude
of
his
own.
However,
in
We
Are
Family,
one
sees
him
getting
into
some
real
acting
zone
once
again
after
Raajneeti.
For
Karan,
it
must
have
been
one
tough
decision
to
pick
him
up
for
the
role,
isn't
it?
"In
fact
the
reason
behind
roping
him
in
for
the
role
was
that
he
is
a
father
in
real
life
and
hence
can
understand
the
sentiments
just
perfectly
right",
reasons
Karan,
"His
real
life
personality
suited
the
film
since
he
could
get
an
element
of
that
into
the
film.
Full
credit
to
Arjun
for
holding
it
all
together
despite
the
presence
of
Kajol
and
Kareena!
In
the
past,
whether
it
is
Raajneeti,
Rock
On
or
Om
Shanti
Om,
he
has
played
an
edgy
character
but
this
is
for
the
time
that
he
has
played
a
quintessential
family
man.
He
has
done
it
all
brilliantly
and
lived
up
to
the
expectations."
