MUMBAI: Arjun Kapoor has been a key figure in Bollywood for over a decade, taking on a variety of roles across genres. From his breakout performance in Ishaqzaade to his role as a romantic lead in 2 States and the complex character in Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Kapoor has carved out a distinctive niche. His career has seen both highs and lows, but with his new role as "Danger Lanka" in Singham Again, Kapoor seems to be reclaiming his space and redefining himself—a transformation fans and critics are calling "Arjun Kapoor 2.0."
Talking about the appreciation he has received for his performance in the film, Arjun shares, "Coming back with a character like Danger Lanka feels like I’m connecting to the roots of where my career began, since I played Parma in Ishaqzaade, another intense role. The response to Danger Lanka has been nothing short of heartening; fans seem to enjoy this raw, unapologetic side of me. Every role shapes you, and this one’s reminded me of the fire that started it all. I owe it to the audience for embracing this transformation and joining me on this journey. And, of course, I’m grateful to Rohit sir for trusting me with this character and helping me bring this new and improved version to life!"
In Singham Again, Kapoor steps into the role of Danger Lanka, a character inspired by the mythical Ravan. This villain stands out from the usual Bollywood antagonists, blending charisma with unpredictability. Kapoor’s portrayal brings a layered depth to the character, striking a chord with audiences and critics alike and signaling a return to his “bad boy” roots.
This isn’t just a return for the Singham Again actor —it’s a renewal. With a fresh perspective on his career, Kapoor is now drawn to roles that challenge his range. Singham Again serves as a marker of Kapoor’s evolving approach to his craft, showing Bollywood he’s ready to take on roles that push his boundaries. Arjun Kapoor 2.0 has arrived, and he’s only just beginning.
