There are two parallel cinemas in Bollywood, the masala crowd pleasing one and the other content driven and artistic cinema. Actor Arjun Kapoor, in his recent media interaction, said that although he always follows his director's vision, he considers himself to be an masala actor rather than an arthouse actor.

According to a recent report in Koimoi, he said, "I’m actually a director’s actor. I go with whatever my director says, I try to do justice to the role and the script." “I was launched as a masala, mainstream hero, I have been accepted as someone who plays to the gallery and I love that. I have always been looked at as someone who is more designed for masala cinema," Arjun added.

Talking about his future in the industry, the actor said, "Going forward, I definitely want to dabble in both these worlds of films given the overwhelming love I have received for ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’. It will be interesting to shock people from time to time by doing projects that they would never imagine me to pull off”
