Arjun
Rampal
says
the
primary
job
of
an
actor
is
reinvention,
as
the
moment
one
starts
repeating
roles,
a
shelf
life
is
born.
In
the
last
few
years,
Arjun
has
featured
in
films
of
diverse
genres
-
thriller
Kahaani
2,
the
Arun
Gawli
biopic
Daddy
to
war
drama
Paltan.
"All
an
actor
really
desires
is
to
reinvent
himself.
The
primary
job
of
an
actor
is
reinvention.
So
I
want
to
keep
at
it
and
try
different
things.
If
you
keep
doing
the
same
stuff,
you
get
slotted
and
to
be
categorised
in
a
certain
way
is
creating
a
shelf
life
for
an
actor," Arjun
told
PTI.
The
actor,
however,
says
making
a
universally
acceptable
film
is
a
challenge.
"To
make
a
universally
acceptable
film,
you
have
to
cater
to
different
audiences.
The
path
that
I
choose
to
walk
on
is
not
to
do
the
typical
films
which
you
see.
That's
a
conscious
decision
I've
taken."
The
actor
recently
made
his
digital
debut
with
ZEE5's
original
series
"The
Final
Call",
in
which
he
plays
a
pilot.
The
thriller
centres
around
the
passengers
of
a
Mumbai
to
Sydney
flight
whose
lives
are
endangered
after
the
captain
decides
to
commit
suicide
on
board.
"The
audience
today
is
more
open
and
accepting.
I
realise
that
a
film
could
have
a
great
message
or
intent
but
it
has
to
be
engaging.
I
keep
trying
to
work
towards
that.
'The
Final
Call'
had
the
perfect
balance
of
being
engaging
and
edgy,
while
also
being
accessible," he
said
of
the
web
series.
While
the
actor
has
tried
to
branch
out,
the
films
have
not
always
been
a
box
office
draw.
Arjun
says
failure
is
painful
but
one
cannot
afford
to
dwell
on
it.
"You
have
to
take
it
with
a
pinch
of
salt
and
move
on.
You
can't
go
blaming
people
and
say
it
was
their
fault.
When
you
do
that,
you're
making
yourself
weak.
You
have
to
reflect
and
realise
what
it
was
that
didn't
work.
