Jab We Met’s Anshuman aka Tarun Arora opens up on playing negative role in Akshay Kumar’s ‘Laxmii’
New Delhi: Actor Tarun Arora has opened up about his position as a baddie within the Akshay Kumar-starrer, Laxmii. “Things don’t become interesting if they are not challenging. Characters with grey shades come with lots of challenges. According to my experience, your reaction has to be stronger than your actions,” Tarun instructed IANS.
The actor has earlier performed unfavourable roles within the 2016 Tamil movie “Kanithan” and the 2017 Chiranjeevi-starrer Telugu launch, “Khaidi No. 150”.
“You always have to keep yourself fit, and you get to learn a lot from the fight sequences. I got to learn horse riding. I have done sword fighting and martial arts (in various films). There are always interesting roles when it comes to playing grey shades,” he added.
Last yr, he had featured in “Kanchana 3”, directed by Raghava Lawrence. Now, he shall be seen in Lawrence’s Bollywood debut “Laxmii”, which is a Hindi remake of the filmmaker’s 2011 Tamil hit, “Muni 2: Kanchana”.
“These are two different stories. I played a politician in ‘Kanchana 3’. I feel that kind of made Lawrence Sir feel more comfortable and more confident to use me in ‘Laxmii’,” added the “Jab We Met” actor.
The Akshay-starrer, slated for an OTT launch on November 9, has been surrounded by controversies for some time. First, there have been studies of Lawrence’s fallout with the workforce. Then, a piece of netizens demanded a boycott of the movie over alleged stereotypical illustration of the transgender group. Finally, there was objection over the movie’s authentic title, “Laxmmi Bomb”, as a result of some individuals felt the title insulted the Hindu Goddess Laxmi. The movie needed to be renamed “Laxmii” following the suggestion of the Central Board of Film Certification.
“Yes, I heard a few controversies with the film. Fair enough, people have their own opinions but I see things from my side. The film was not made with any intention to hurt anybody’s sentiments. It’s a full-time entertainer. It’s a comedy horror flick and at this time of COVID-19, I think it is a perfect family film,” stated Tarun.
