After
starring
in
three-back
to
back
films
in
2013,
Arjun
Rampal
says
taking
a
break
for
more
than
a
year
was
much-needed
for
him.
Arjun,
who
will
be
next
seen
in
Roy
post
his
no
show
last
year,
appeared
in
Prakash
Jha's
political
drama
Satyagraha
besides
Inkaar
and
spy
thriller
D-Day.
"I
took
a
break
consciously
because
I
was
exhausted.
I
just
wanted
to
read
and
not
think
about
movies.
I
wanted
to
spend
time
with
me
and
my
family.
And
in
between
the
script
of
Roy
was
also
developing," Arjun
told.
In
the
upcoming
Ranbir
Kapoor-Jacqueline
Fernandez
starrer
film,
Arjun
is
playing
a
director,
who
is
undergoing
OCD
(Obsessive–compulsive
disorder),
and
has
the
fetish
of
collecting
hats.
"I
have
patiently
waited
for
this
film.
As
I
have
seen
the
final
result,
I
can
proudly
say
Vikramjit
Singh
(director)
has
done
a
splendid
job
as
a
debutant
director.
"When
he
first
came
with
the
script
it
was
like
a
novel
to
me
but
then
we
developed
it
further.
Film
starts
with
me
who
is
a
successful
director
and
has
made
a
franchise
of
a
film
tiled
Gun.
And
now
he
wants
to
make
Gun
3," he
added.
The
42-year-old
model-actor
said
hat
is
the
trademark
of
his
character
in
Roy
that
is
hitting
theaters
on
February
13,
a
day
ahead
of
Valentine's
Day.
"I
have
seen
a
hat
two
years
back
in
New
York
in
a
vintage
shop
and
loved
it.
I
thought
of
using
the
same
one
in
the
film.
I
also
founded
a
pair
of
glasses
and
these
two
things
kind
of
stayed
with
Kabir
till
the
end
of
the
film,"
he
said.
Roy
has
been
shot
extensively
in
Malaysia
and
the
'Ra.One' star
said
the
foreign
locations
acted
as
characters
in
the
film.
"The
locations
of
the
film
are
very
important
as
they
are
like
a
character
itself.
In
Malaysia,
we
have
shot.
We
covered
both
small
towns
and
beaches," Arjun
said.
