Bombay:
With the dynamics changing after each movie release, the actor Arjun Kapoor says the movie industry is a fickle place, where you can’t afford to take fame too seriously. Kapoor, who has worked in the industry as an actor for eight years, said the best way to navigate the ups and downs of Bollywood is to stay grounded. “I think you can’t take your fame so seriously, since it’s Friday through Friday (release). You get written off with a bad movie and you’re hailed as a superstar with one hit. You just have to enjoy out of your place in the sun. and have fun doing it. And make sure you don’t over indulge yourself in it, make sure you do a good job and never take anyone for granted, ”Arjun Kapoor told the PTI press agency.
The 35-year-old actor dubbed in Hindi for the popular Amazon Prime Video superhero drama series The boys. Arjun Kapoor lent his voice to the character of Billy Butcher, originally played by Karl Urban in the series, who tells the story of what happens when heroes go rogue and start abusing their powers. The actor said the best way to deal with stardom is to use the privilege that comes with it for the greater good.
“Sometimes talk about things or discuss the issues that matter. Also, sometimes you need to stay calm, take care of yourself and take care of your near and dear ones. It means using your power for the right reasons. What is it for? to help 100 if you can’t help at least two around you first? ”he said.
Developed by Eric Kripke, The boys is based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The series also stars Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott among others. The actor said the show’s philosophy is a huge draw to him. His “twisted concept,” where heroes are villains and villains are heroic, emphasizes that people shouldn’t believe everything they see, said Arjun Kapoor.
“The people who operate behind the scenes can be very deceptive and deceptive, this is something that is relevant in today’s society. We tend to believe that some parts are positive, righteous, and good. But what if there is a gray area then not as good as perceived in and the so-called evil vigilantes, or the negative might have something that makes them good. There is a lot of gray in the show and I think that’s the most appealing aspect, ”he added.
Expressing the mysterious and brutal Billy who has a personal but secret agenda while retaining his charm and sarcasm as leader of The Boys has not been easy, the actor said. Arjun Kapoor said it needed to be made “more punchy” and changed in tone to suit the Hindi speaking audience. “I tried to apply the same degree of emotional honesty while dubbing it in another language. I kept it as honest as possible, whether it was with the sarcasm that comes with honesty or even emotion, I just tried to hang in there and believed that I live and breathe the character in. this language, ”he said. “He (Urban) gave me so much to feed because his performance is great, I literally had to watch it learn and play in Hindi again,” added Arjun Kapoor.
