ARJUN KAPOOR:

PARINEETI CHOPRA

BRINGS BEST

OUT OF ME WHILE

SHOOTING

ctor Arjun Kapoor said his ‘Namaste England’ co-star
Parineeti Chopra brings out his best while shooting
Afor a film. Arjun, Parineeti and director Vipul Amrutlal
Shah interacted with the media here at the wrap-up party of
‘Namaste England’ on Wednesday. Both actors earlier featured
in ‘Ishaqzaade’, and ‘Namaste England’ marks the second time
that they have been paired. They will also be seen in ‘Sandeep
Aur Pinky Faraar’.
Arjun said, “As an actor, Parineeti brings the best out of me
because I feel that if you are honest with your co-actor, then
automatically, you deliver good results.”
“There is not a feeling of fear in me while working with Parineeti
as I can tell her to improvise on a certain scene or ask her to
do some more retakes together. There is no sense of insecurity
among us in terms of outdoing each other. So, you look forward
to work with such actors because eventually it helps both the
actors to perform a good scene. That is the reason I enjoy
working with her.”
Arjun said they have also witnessed a lot of ups and downs
in their careers. “It’s been almost seven years since we did
our first film together. We were really young while shooting
‘Ishaqzaade’. So, there has been a lot of gap... Both of us have
been in touch, but I think we have witnessed so many ups and
downs in our personal and professional life, but while working
on ‘Namaste England’, we didn’t feel like we have shot a film
after six years.”
“Now, both of us have worked with each other in two back-
to-back films. So, I think we should take a break working with
each other.” ‘Namaste England’ is a sequel to the superhit film
‘Namastey London’.
“It’s a franchise that has been loved for so many years.
‘Namastey London’ had iconic songs, scenes and visuals, so to
be part of that world, and to be working with Vipul sir who has
earlier directed that film, gives me an amazing feeling.”
“It’s also a strange feeling because sometimes you want to
be part of some films and I clearly remember that I watched
‘Namastey London’ with Katrina Kaif (who was the film’s
leading lady), and today I am talking about wrapping shooting
of ‘Namaste England’. So, it’s very surreal in that sense,” he
added.
The film will release on October 19.
