Raj
Arjun,
who
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Shershaah
with
Sidharth
Malhotra
and
Kiara
Advani,
opened
up
about
the
label
of
'supporting
actor'
and
his
career
choices
which
include
hits
like
Secret
Superstar,
Rowdy
Rathore,
Raees,
Black
Friday,
Dear
Comrade
and
more.
The
actor
revealed
that
he
is
not
fond
of
the
term
supporting
actors
and
said
that
he
is
an
actor
in
its
entirety.
Raj
Arjun
told
Free
Press
Journal
that
he
likes
to
be
a
part
of
any
film
in
which
the
script
cannot
move
without
his
character.
He
said,
"I
consider
myself
an
actor
because
I
might
play
any
kind
of
role,
and
the
film
would
be
incomplete
without
me.
So,
I
prefer
being
called
an
actor
rather
than
a
supporting
actor."
The
actor
received
critical
acclaim
after
the
release
of
Aamir
Khan-starrer
Secret
Superstar
in
2017.
The
role
as
a
conservative
and
abusive
husband
gained
him
praise
as
an
actor
but
he
hasn't
had
a
Bollywood
release
since
then.
Returning
to
screen
with
Shershaah,
he
will
be
seen
essaying
the
role
of
Subedar
Raghunath.
Talking
about
his
role
in
the
biographical
war
drama
Raj
said,
"When
Vishnuvardhan
(director
of
Shershaah)
narrated
the
script
to
me,
I
loved
it.
Overall,
it
was
an
amazing
experience
working
for
the
film.
We
went
to
Kargil
and
shot
there."
Raj
revealed
that
while
prepping
for
the
film,
they
also
got
the
chance
to
meet
Army
officers
and
spend
time
with
them.
"I
also
met
the
Subedar
there
and
in
a
few
days,
he
became
a
good
friend.
All
of
them
were
very
supportive.
We
used
to
wake
up
at
3
am
every
day
to
get
the
vibe
and
at
some
point,
we
even
felt
that
we
were
in
the
Army," he
added.
