This should make her ecstatic! šš
While the world speculates about his next project, Arjun Kapoor has become immune to the works of the rumour mills. After successfully debuting with Ishaaqzade, the newbie has already started working on his next project.
And TOI can confirm that it's neither the love story that dad Boney Kapoor's supposed to be making, nor a movie with Pradeep Sarkar opposite his first co-star Parineeti Chopra. Instead, Arjun's going to work with Yash Raj Films once again and it's some time before we see him paired with Parineeti.
The movie, titled Aurangzeb, will see the actor playing a double role. While most young actors would probably not risk a double role, considering it'd also come with double the expectations from two characters in the same film, Arjun told us that he's quite excited about the challenge. He said, "I'm very excited and there really is no risk; there's the challenge of proving that you're capable of handling two different kind of performances in the same film."
While Arjun can't give any details about the two characters till YRF makes another official announcement, he told us that the movie, directed by Atul Sabharwal, will test his potential as an actor. The actor, who considers Salman's double role in Judwaa as one of the most memorable ones, says that he has been working hard on preparing for the two roles and it'll be a couple of months before the movie goes on floors in the second half of this year.
