New Delhi: Actor Arjun Kapoor says working on his upcoming movie Half Girlfriend has been an emotionally gruelling but fun experience for him.
The 31-year-old actor, plays the role of Madhav Jha a young boy from Bihar, in the Mohit Suri-directed film which also stars actress Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead.
“It has been an amazing experience working on Half Girlfriend. I loved working with Mohit and Shraddha and the entire team. It has been a difficult film for me emotionally because of the character I am playing,” Arjun said.
“I have really enjoyed myself putting out there. Fingers crossed, hopefully, people will enjoy the film as much as we have enjoyed making,” he added.
The movie is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel of the same name and the author is also serving as one of the producers on the project. Arjun said Bhagat was very cooperative and did not interfere during the making. Half Girlfriend will release May 19, 2017. Arjun says his choice of movies is influenced by the kind of cinema he has watched growing up.
“The choice of films I make is directly proportional to the kind of cinema I have grew up watching. I also don’t stick to working with a fixed set of filmmakers. The versatility is partially intentional. And, I will continue to be making such choices,” he said.
“Today, the biggest risk is to not take risks. In the beginning, I got different kind of roles and then I realised it’s great to be that way. And that thought is always there before signing a film. I aspire to play interesting characters,” Arjun said. pti
