‘He is much more nuanced’

Arjun Kapoor recently opened up about working alongside Vikrant Massey in the romantic-drama Half Girlfriend (2017) and said that Vikrant was much better as an actor in the film. Arjun said that he struggled with dubbing for the film and feels that he had done a better job while doing his dialogues on set.

In an interview with Galatta PlusArjun said, “I wish I didn’t have to dub for Half Girlfriend with the dialect. I think I had done a good job on the set but then unfortunately, I had to dub and I am not somebody who is very fond of dubbing because it undermines the honesty in that moment. Also, we, in this generation don’t dub all the time. Not to say it was my worst or whatever but I look back as a critic and I wish I was able to retain the pilot, I was much better at my dialect. You learn the dialect and perform it.”

Praising Vikrant, Arjun said, “Like Vikrant (Massey) is much better in the dub. He is a much better actor in the film also, in that sense, much more nuanced in that sense. But I was supposed to play more to the gallery but I was not able to get the dialect bang on in the dub which I had in the pilot. So that’s a minor look back and learning experience for me.”

Arjun was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s cop-drama Singham Againwhich released in theatres on Diwali.
