Arjun, by all means, is a family man, and just like any other father-daughter duo, his girls Mahikaa and Myra don't shy away from opining on his work. He tells mid-day.com, "None of them made the choice for me (laughs). If they revisit some of my old films, sometimes they make fun of me, just to pull my leg. But I have a comeback like try doing it yourself. Fortunately in recent times, because of the kind of choices that I've made, I think they've been far more mature, and come from a secure space. It's nice to discuss films because what I do is make films and the reason I make them is that we can have a conversation about it or the character. So rather than critiquing it is nice to discuss the film that gets the negatives and the positives but in a positive manner."
In âCrakk', Arjun essays the role of a ruthless antagonist, who goes head-to-head with Vidyut Jammwal. Going by the film's trailer, Arjun seems to have pulled off the stunts and high-octane action sequences with ease, but the actor maintains that the outcome doesn't happen overnight. He has undergone a tremendous physical transformation and rigorous training for his role in the upcoming action thriller film 'Crakk-Jeetega to Jiyegaa'. While talking about his preparation work, he shared, "For this role, I had to go way lighter and work on my agility. I swam every day in open waters to increase my cardiovascular strength. Ran 10K thrice a week and ate clean. I had to make sacrifices to get in shape and tip the scale in my favour. I ate a lot of protein and followed a strictly veg diet thrice a week."
'Crakk' is a survival thriller. Aditya Datt, who helmed the film, is also known for films like Aashiq Banaya Apne (2005) and Table No. 21 (2013).
