Arjun Kapoor recounts when watching others’ films made him question himself

• Arjun Kapoor is celebrating the success of Singham Again.
• He revealed that he was in a difficult phase when he signed the film.
• He reflected on how Singham Agai helped him reconnect with cinema.

Arjun Kapoor is celebrating the success of his latest film, Singham Again, Rohit Shetty’s star-studded cop drama. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor revealed that he was in a professional and personal slump when he signed the film.

““I stopped enjoying watching films. And I only know that. My life is all about movies. Suddenly, I’d watch other people’s work and feel, ‘Will I be able to? Will I get a chance to?’ And I’ve never been a bitter, negative person, but that started festering inside me in a very off way. My wish list kept getting longer and longer,” he shared, admitting that he had become someone who “watch[ed] YouTube Shorts to put [himself] to sleep.”

He reflected on how Singham Again, ironically his “massiest” film to date, helped him reconnect with his passion for cinema. “Once I finished shooting in May, I started engaging with movies again, I started engaging with shows again, and I started engaging with myself again to be very happy. I was finding it very difficult to be happy,”

Arjun confessed. His rediscovery of his love for film began with Only Murders in the Building, followed by a solo screening of Mad Max: Furiosa abroad, which reignited his excitement for movies.

In Singham Again, Arjun plays Danger Lanka, the antagonist, a modern-day Ravana, who faces off against Ajay Devgn’s character, presented as Lord Rama. The film also features a star ensemble including Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Tiger Shroff. The film has already grossed ₹164 crores at the domestic box office within just six days of release.
