He is in his second year in Bollywood and two films old but Arjun Kapoor finds himself in a lucky space having bagged roles opposite top leading actresses including Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone.
The 27-year-old actor made his Bollywood debut last year opposite Parineeti Chopra in 'Ishaqzaade'. In his upcoming films- 'Gunday', Hindi remake of Telegu film 'Okkadu', 'Finding Fanny Fernandes' and 'Two States'- Arjun will be seen opposite Priyanka, Sonakshi Sinha, Deepika and Alia Bhatt respectively.
"I am really lucky in comparison to all the other young actors beacuse I am working with all the top actresses whether it is Priyanaka, Deepika, Sonakshi, Parineeti. I am also working with Alia," Arjun told PTI.
Asked why he thinks he has become the 'chosen one' when it comes to casting in roles opposite almost every actress of this generation, the actor said, "I think I am one of the few actors in the younger generation, who looks good with all of them, which is a rare thing. I am the type who can fit in with a young girl like Alia and someone like Priyanka who is a woman."
But Arjun is not yet content. He wants to work with every Bollywood actress, including his childhood crush Kareena Kapoor.
"I want to work with Anushka (Sharma), Katrina (Kaif) and yes not to forget Kareena Kapoor as she is my first genuine crush. But I don't know when I will get the opportunity. It is always good to work with different actors, instead of repeating the same. May be by next year, I will have projects opposite them. I want to work with all of them," he said.
