Arjun Kapoor added that Gunday would be a bigger hit had it released today.
Gunday was released in 2014.
Arjun Kapoor recently reunited with Ranveer Singh on screen in Singham Again. Arjun and Ranveer share a close bond and their camaraderie is loved by fans. This bond was also visible when they starred together in Gunday. In a recent chat, Arjun Kapoor opened up about working in Gunday with Ranveer and Priyanka Chopra.
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Arjun said, “A film called Gunday, to give title roles to us (Arjun and Ranveer) on the cusp of maybe 2-2 films being done. The way they set us up, the way Ali (Abbas Zafar) shot us, the way he presented us, the songs, the scale, the styling, the attitude.” Arjun mentioned, “It gave all of us a chance to show people that Ranveer and I have terrific chemistry, which today’s carried forward.”
Talking about Priyanka Chopra and Irrfan Khan, Arjun continued, “Priyanka Chopra was a big star… she still is, but what I mean is she was out of our league, just like she is in the film in that sense, and then she did the film. Then Irrfan sir, to have the pleasure of working with him, to be this opposition force. Ali mounted it; Adi sir (Aditya Chopra) believed that was the way to really connect with the masses.”
Arjun Kapoor also shared that Gunday would have been a bigger hit had it released today. He explained, “At that point in time, we were going through a multiplex era where there was a slight bit of looking at a distance from mass, mainstream material. Gunday is exactly what today is being celebrated; it’s high octane; it’s larger than life.”
Meanwhile, Arjun is currently seen as Danger Lanka in Singham Again. Singham Again has been getting positive reviews from the audience and has been going steady at the box office. The film emerged as a commercial success after it crossed the Rs 130 crore mark in just four days. Singham Again performed well in its first six days at the box office, earning an estimated Rs 164.25 crore net in India. On its seventh day, the film earned around Rs 8.75 crore net (early estimates) across all languages, bringing its total India net collection to Rs 173 crore, according to Sacnilk. Singham Again follows the story of Bajirao Singham who leaves no stone unturned after Danger Lanka kidnaps his wife Avni Kamat.
