Actor Arjun Kapoor, who will be seen in a role of a Sikh man in his upcoming film "Mubaraka", took lessons to get his Punjabi accent correct.
	The makers got a dialect coach for the 31-year-old actor so that he would get all his nuances right, a release issued here said.

	"Every time I make a movie, it's a risk, and I fully appreciate and fear that... It's this enjoyable, nauseous balance. Every time you make a movie, you have to convince everyone that it's a great idea.
