Arjun
Kapoor
was
the
surprise
package
of
2021
as
his
film
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar
(SAPF)
became
the
toast
of
reviewers
and
eclectic
film
audience.
His
performance
in
the
noir
thriller
has
earned
him
a
place
as
one
of
the
best
actors
of
2021
and
Arjun
couldn't
be
more
happier
that
he
found
a
film
in
which
he
could
showcase
his
acting
mettle.
Arjun
says,
"This
kind
of
outpouring
of
love
for
me
hasn't
happened
since
my
debut
in
Ishaqzaade
and
I'm
really
thankful
to
everyone
for
appreciating
what
I
have
done
in
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar
(SAPF).
I
have
to
give
a
lot
of
credit
to
my
director
Dibakar
Banerjee,
who
believed
that
I
could
bring
the
broody
intensity
that
was
required
to
set
the
mood
and
the
tone
of
the
film.
He
was
there
with
me,
beside
me
at
every
step
of
the
way
like
a
shining
guiding
light
and
I
thank
him
for
bringing
out
shades
of
my
acting
skills
that
even
amazed
me
on
the
set."
The
actor
adds,
"I'm
actually
a
directors
actor.
I
go
with
whatever
my
director
says
and
I
try
and
do
justice
to
the
role
and
the
script.
So,
if
today,
people
are
loving
what
i
have
done
in
SAPF,
they
will
also
need
to
understand
that
I
need
such
films
and
directors
to
showcase
nuance
and
layer
and
in
depth
acting.
I
was
launched
as
a
masala,
mainstream
hero,
I
have
been
accepted
as
someone
who
plays
to
the
gallery
and
I
love
that.
I
have
always
been
looked
at
as
someone
who
is
more
designed
for
masala
cinema."
Arjun
wants
to
concentrate
and
constantly
juggle
between
mainstream
and
eclectic
films,
given
the
love
he
is
still
receiving
for
SAPF.
He
says,
"It's
hugely
humbling
to
entertain
so
many
people
but
I
also
feel
that
if
given
chances
like
SAPF,
I
would
not
let
any
film-maker
or
producer
down.
Going
forward,
I
definitely
want
to
dabble
both
these
worlds
of
films
given
the
overwhelming
love
I
have
received
for
SAPF.
It
will
be
interesting
to
shock
people
from
time
to
time
by
doing
projects
that
they
would
never
imagine
me
to
pull
off."
Arjun
will
be
next
seen

Villain

son
