Arjun Kapoor Reveals Filmmaking Was His First Love
Mumbai– Before stepping in front of the camera, actor Arjun Kapoor dreamed of working behind it. In a recent interview, he shared that filmmaking—not acting—was his first passion.
“It’s the magic of cinema that fascinates me,” Arjun said. “Not everything has to be logical—conviction sells the illusion. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling and the process of putting a film together.”
He recalled being inspired by watching his father produce the ambitious 1993 film Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, which sparked his love for the craft.
A fan of global cinema, Arjun mentioned his admiration for Korean and European films, and directors like Tony Scott and David Fincher. He’s currently watching The Day of the Jackal, starring Eddie Redmayne, and praised Scott’s Top Gun as the “OG.”
He also expressed frustration with modern trailers revealing too much, contrasting them with the well-crafted teasers for Padmaavat, Animal, and Bajirao Mastani. “Michael Bay’s trailers set the benchmark,” he said. “Animal had a great teaser. Padmaavat’s trailer was gorgeous—it’s a director’s trailer.”
On the work front, Arjun was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi, alongside Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar.
