Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor share a strong friendship that dates back to their childhood. They trained together at Barry John's acting institute under the guidance of Saurabh Sachdeva. In a recent interview with Galatta India, Arjun reflected on his role in the short film featuring Varun, expressing some dissatisfaction with his performance. He humorously suggested that Karan Johar's Dharma Productions may have provided him with fewer opportunities in the past due to his less-than-stellar acting.

Arjun Kapoor's thoughts on his role in Varun Dhawan's short film

During the discussion, it was mentioned that Arjun Kapoor and Varun had contemplated starting a production company together. Arjun humorously noted that Varun had somewhat embarrassed him in this regard. He reassured Arjun that his performance in the seven-minute short film was commendable. At that time, Barry John was their acting instructor, and it was during this period that Varun expressed his desire to direct the film. Arjun initially believed he was the protagonist, only to discover after viewing the final cut that he played the antagonist. This revelation came as a surprise to him, as Varun had not disclosed this information prior to filming.

Arjun humorously remarked on Varun's character in Main Tera Hero, saying, "He may appear innocent and saintly, but his true nature is mischievous." This film is notable for Varun's choice to wear a T-shirt, which is available for viewing on YouTube. Arjun chose not to take pride in the film, opting to keep its title undisclosed.

Arjun Kapoor's joke about Dharma Productions and Karan Johar

Additionally, Arjun shared that Varun had presented the short film to Karan Johar. He jokingly suggested that this might explain why Dharma Productions had previously offered him fewer projects.

Arjun Kapoor's latest film role was in Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty. This action thriller included performances by Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn, and it achieved moderate success at the box office. His next project, Mere Husband Ki Biwi, featuring Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh, is scheduled for release in February 2025.
