Was Arjun Rampal Skeptical About Working With Kangana Ranaut In Dhaakad?

While
Kangana
Ranaut
is
well-known
for
her
acting
prowess,
she
is
also
famous
for
being
outspoken.
In
fact,
she
is
one
of
a
few
B-town
celebrities
who
will
not
think
twice
before
calling
anyone
out,
if
she
feels
the
need
of
it.
Currently,
she
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
her
upcoming
film
Dhaakad,
which
also
stars
Arjun
Rampal
and
Divya
Dutta
in
the
lead
roles.

In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
ETimes,
when
Arjun
was
asked
if
he
was
skeptical
about
saying
yes
to
Dhaakad
because
of
Kangana,
he
said,
“No,
I
was
not
skeptical.
I
have
known
Kangana
for
a
very
long
time.
Kangana
and
I
have
got
our
first
National
Awards
together.
She
got
it
for
Fashion
and
I
got
it
for
Rock
On.
After
that,
she
had
come
to
my
night
club
in
Delhi
and
we
partied
together.”

Arjun
further
said
that
Kangana
has
come
to
his
home
as
well
and
they
have
met
a
number
of
times
on
different
occasions.
Arjun
further
said
that
she
is
a
very
sweet
girl,
and
he
has
seen
her
evolve
as
an
actor.

When
asked
about
his
role
in
Dhaakad,
he
said,
“There
comes
a
time
when
you
want
to
shift
gears.
I
like
gritty,
powerful,
well-written,
extrovert
characters.
I
want
the
audience
to
go
and
see
the
character
and
not
me.
The
character
in
‘Dhaakad’ is
evil
and
quite
opposite
to
me
in
real
life.”

In
the
same
interview,
when
Arjun
was
asked
if
will
ever
do
political
film
like
Raajneeti,
he
said
that
he
is
not
sure
about
it
yet,
but
if
someone
offers
him
a
very
good
script,
then
it
could
be
an
interesting
world
to
explore.

Dhaakad
is
slated
to
be
released
in
theatres
on
May
20,
2022.
