In 2012, Arjun Kapoor stormed in as Parma in Ishaqzaade—fiery, flawed, unforgettable. A rebel with a cause, he made Bollywood sit up.

As Krish in 2 States, Arjun infused sincerity and gentleness. His chemistry with Alia Bhatt made inter-cultural romance believable, raw, and intensely relatable.

With Gunday, Arjun adopted rough-hewn charm as Bala. His bromance with Ranveer Singh and aggressive intensity made him a crowd-favorite in action films.

As Madhav in Half Girlfriend, Arjun portrayed heartbreak and yearning. "Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga" turned into an anthem of unwritten love and emotional susceptibility.

In Ki & Ka, Arjun reversed gender roles elegantly. As a househusband, he broke conventions and portrayed strength in gentleness.

From Finding Fanny to Aurangzeb, Arjun ventured out of the mainstream. Not all movies struck gold, but his zeal to develop as an actor was evident.

In Ek Villain Returns, Arjun dipped into darkness. While the film polarized critics, his introspective intensity suggested a risk-taking change in his on-screen persona.

As Danger Lanka in Singham Again, Arjun shocked. A contemporary Raavan—complex, deadly, and charismatic—he redefined himself with killingly accurate precision.
