Arjun Kapoor: I wasn’t offered 'Ram-Lakhan'

In a recent interaction director Rohit Shetty got candid about remake of 'Ram-Lakhan'. The director said that project was shelved because none of the young stars want to work with each other. When asked about the same, Arjun Kapoor said, "Firstly, I wasn’t offered 'Ram-Lakhan', so I can’t comment on the insecurity part, but I do believe Rohit sir would have a fair point in his observation."

The actor further explained, "It comes from the understanding og what he’s been through. So I respect his point of view because he’s experienced that. I wasn’t offered the film, I love Rohit Shetty as a director, I would love to work with him. I wouldn’t bat an eyelid before working with him and he knows that, he’s very aware of that."

When asked if he is insecure as an actor, to which Arjun added, “To be honest, insecurity stems when you are not secure about your own role in a film. It depends where the actor is in that particular point in his life, whether insecurity stems in or doesn’t stems in. Also, I’ve done Gunday, like you said. I’ve done ensemble films like Aurangzeb, Finding Fanny, Mubarakan. If you are clear and excited about your role, insecurity will never stem in.”

When asked why don't we see multi-starrers anymore, Arjun signed off saying, "Two very fundamental reasons – content and cost. There’s not enough content that’s written in a way to get those multi-starrers into play. But for me, Mubarakan is a multi-starrer but that’s a rarity. The content is being written such that the parameters are not the multi-starrers but it’s more about intimate storytelling about “A” character or “B” character, if you notice the writing thought process has changed as well. And Cost! It’s not easy to pull off multi-starrers at very basic production level, execution level, it’s not easy."
