Know Arjun

The shooting experience
I think the working style is more or less same. It all depends on the vision.. if the vision is strong then any pattern can work wonderfully. I felt very positive shooting for Rishton Ka Manjha. The unit is amazing and everybody is equally dedicated.
The national audience
I always wanted to work in the Hindi language and that’s why I shifted to Mumbai in 2016. Later when I came back to Calcutta I was very fortunate to get back-to-back two shows here and people have loved and accepted me and now I am blessed to showcase my craft in front of the national audience. So it feels great.
The genesis
I was approached by Tent Cinemas to come for a look set for Arjun’s character. I went through a proper mock shoot and audition and I guess they liked my audition and selected me for the same.
Sports connect
Till Class XII I was pretty much involved in sports and this story has got a sports flavour in it. And Arjun’s character attracted me. The concept of the story is different, focusing on women empowerment.
Hindi roots
Hindi is in my blood. I was born in Faizabad, UP. So it’s like playing in my homeground.
Bengali connect
Yes, Rishton Ka Manjha is a remake of the Bengali TV show Deep Jwele Jaai with some changes keeping the national audiences in mind. The concept is more or less same.
