Model
turned
actor,
the
handsome
hunk
Arjun
Rampal
is
simply
elated
and
the
reason
is
obvious.
His
latest
film,
Rock
On
has
generated
excellent
shares
across
the
multiplexes
and
trade
predicts
that
the
movie
is
going
to
be
a
sure
fire
hit.
However,
not
many
will
be
aware
that
Rock
On
is
Arjun's
third
hit
after
Don
and
Om
Shanti
Om.
No
mean
achievement,
considering
that
this
feat
has
been
achieved
by
an
actor
who
the
critics
as
well
as
the
trade
had
written
off
just
a
few
years
back,
after
a
series
of
flops.
Arjun
credits
the
turnaround
in
his
fortune
to
his
good
friend
and
co-star,
Shahrukh
Khan,
whose
association
has
done
him
a
world
of
good.
Arjun
says
that
he
has
become
more
positive
and
is
now
looking
for
performance-oriented
roles.
He
adds
that
all
the
three
roles
in
his
hit
films
were
different
from
one
another
and
he
loved
being
a
part
of
those
successful
projects.
Though
there
is
one
role
that
is
very
close
to
his
heart
and
it
is
the
one
he
has
essayed
in
Rituparno
Ghosh's,
The
Last
Lear.
Arjun
is
hoping
for
a
fourth
hit
in
the
form
of
upcoming
The
Last
Lear,
which
is
all
set
to
release
on
September
12.
Arjun
says
that
the
movie
has
been
widely
appreciated
in
the
West
and
he
is
now
awaiting
to
see
India's
reaction
to
the
masterpiece.
