There were reports that the "2 States" star had an argument with the director of the film, Mohit Suri, over the actor's alleged party bills which ran to Rs 1 lakh per day
When asked about this at an event last evening, Arjun said, "There is some selfish reason of someone to portray me as unprofessional. Somebody is upset or jealous...
"If I was not a professional, that film wouldn't have finished by now. My father is known as one of the most serious, amazing producers. You think being a producer's son, I will put the other producer in jeopardy and say 'Yeh lo dedh lakh rupaye ka bill'?" Arjun asked.
"I would like to answer this question, even though I do not like to reply to ridiculous conversations. I am a producer's son. When that outdoor (shoot) was happening in June, my grandmother was seriously unwell.... You all came later when she died while I was shooting outdoor," he said.
"If I was making bills of Rs 1 lakh after drinking, there must be seriously something wrong with me and I shouldn't get job after this film. I was traveling back and forth everyday from Delhi to Mumbai, Mumbai to Delhi, shooting," Arjun said.
"It was my birthday month. I didn't want to do anything. But Balaji (production house) said they want to throw a party. We partied till 1 am, celebrated birthday, cut the cake... Then, we all reached for shooting at 7 in the morning.
"You can go and crosscheck it with Delhi Hyatt, where we shot the film," the star said.
