While addressing the criticism, Rohit Shetty emphasized the importance of audience reactions and expressed gratitude for those who changed their minds after seeing the film.

Arjun Kapoorโs character, Danger Lanka, serves as the main antagonist in a movie filled with a star-studded ensemble cast. While some had doubts about the actorโs ability to embody such a strong negative role, Rohit Shetty believes that the performance eventually resonated with audiences. โIf they didnโt like Arjun or Danger Lankaโs character, whoโs the main evil force in the film amid such a big star cast, it would mean that we went totally wrong,โ Rohit Shetty explained, stressing how integral the character was to the narrative.
Rohit Shetty also praised Arjun Kapoorโs dedication to the role, highlighting the actorโs commitment to delivering a memorable performance. โArjun has worked very hard on it. He has given his 10000% to his character,โ he shared, underscoring the actorโs intense preparation and passion for the part.
Despite initial skepticism, Arjun Kapoorโs role in this film has sparked conversation, with many now acknowledging the layers he brought to the character. His portrayal of Danger Lanka marks a significant departure from his usual roles, proving his versatility as an actor capable of stepping into complex and intense parts. This shift is a testament to Kapoor’s dedication to expanding his range and defying audience expectations, and as the filmmaker stated, the audienceโs changing opinions are proof that he succeeded in making an impact.
As the film continues to make waves, Arjun Kapoor’s performance is being reevaluated, and it seems the once-controversial casting decision might turn out to be a bold move that paid off in the end. The filmโs success and the actor’s portrayal of Danger Lanka could set the stage for even more diverse roles in his career, reaffirming his place as a versatile talent in Bollywood.
