Arjun
Rampal
hasn't
been
happier.
Whether
it
was
Rock
On,
Om
Shanti
Om
or
Housefull,
he
did
see
good
appreciation
coming
his
way.
In
fact
he
also
fetched
a
National
award
for
himself
after
Rock
On.
However,
the
acclaim
that
he
has
received
ever
since
the
release
of
Raajneeti
has
been,
in
his
own
words,
unprecedented.
No
wonder,
he
truly
believes
that
the
month
gone
by
has
been
akin
to
a
dream,
which
he
doesn't
want
to
break.
"Really,
this
is
one
dream
from
which
I
don't
want
to
wake
up.
It
is
still
sinking
in
but
honestly,
it
has
not
yet
sunk
in
totally.
It
all
seems
to
be
happening
all
around
me
and
in
such
a
manner
that
it
is
almost
surreal.
I
can't
believe
the
kind
of
appreciation
that
is
coming
in
from
critics
as
well
as
audience",
says
Arjun
who
is
not
just
inundated
by
congratulatory
calls
ever
since
the
release
of
this
Prakash
Jha
directed
film
but
is
also
keeping
a
close
tab
on
the
collections
which
are
pouring
in.
Raajneeti
has
touched
the
90
crore
mark
just
from
India,
making
it
the
third
in
the
list
of
all
time
biggest
grossers
in
the
history
of
Indian
cinema.
After
3
Idiots
(which
crossed
200
crores)
and
Ghajini
(100
crores
plus),
Raajneeti
is
the
only
film
to
have
touched
the
90
crore
mark
(in
four
weeks)
and
is
still
counting.
No
wonder,
Arjun
is
also
very
happy
for
the
man
behind
it
all,
Prakash
Jha,
who
entrusted
him
to
do
the
job
well
and
deliver
beyond
expectations.
"I
am
very
happy
for
Prakash.
It
has
taken
him
six
years
to
get
his
script
bang
on
and
ultimately
what
he
brought
on
screen
did
justify
the
presence
of
all
the
characters",
he
says
fondly,
"It
was
a
wonderful
experience
making
the
film
and
now
we
are
enjoying
the
accolades
and
appreciation
coming
in.
For
that,
I
have
to
say
a
big
'Thank
You'
to
the
audience
for
accepting
our
film
with
such
a
big
heart."
Next
up
for
Arjun
would
be
Karan
Johar's
remake
of
Stepmom
(Kajol,
Kareena
Kapoor)
where
he
is
the
only
male
protagonist.
Meanwhile,
he
also
has
another
ace
up
his
sleeves
in
the
form
of
Shahrukh
Khan
starrer,
Ra.1
where
he
is
the
prime
antagonist.
