WOW Arjun Kapoor hones Punjabi skills in two days!
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,December 30 2016]
In Anees Bazmee's 'Mubarakan', Arjun Kapoor will be playing the role of a Sikh for the first time and has put in immense hard work to get into the skin of the character. The movie will be an entertaining ride for sure, as Arjun will be seen playing two different roles that of Karanveer Singh and Charanveer Singh.
Interestingly, before Arjun started shooting, the makers wanted to ensure that he got his authentic Punjabi accent bang-on, hence they organised a dialect coach for him so that he would get all his nuances right.
After two days of coaching, the coach felt that he was so proficient with his accent that he didn't need the coaching anymore. Arjun who's roots are in Punjab, has been born and brought up in a Punjabi family and clearly qualifies for the perfect Punjabi munda.
Said Arjun, "I guess being brought in a joint family and hearing Punjabi being spoken by my grandparents all the time really stuck with me and when we started readings I realised I could recall the tonality from my childhood this making the process a little easier than I had imagined..."
Anees Bazmi shared, "We had a dialect coach for Arjun for the first two days. But Arjun was so quick to learn that we didn't need the coach beyond that. It took Arjun just two days to get into the skin of both the characters he is playing. And I feel that is commendable."
'Mubarakan', produced by Sony Pictures Networks Productions, Murad Khetani'se Cine 1 Studios and Ashwin Varde will be releasing on 28th July 2017.
