Arjan's driven

Actor Arjan Bajwa left an impression on audiences with his roles in Guru and Fashion

Actor Arjan Bajwa left an impression on audiences with his roles in Guru and Fashion. He's now back as Jaideep Mahajan, an aggressive young man with a political background in Shawn Arranha's suspense thriller, Hide N Seek. Arjan, who's currently shooting in Jaisalmer for Hema Malini's Tell Me O Khuda, chats with CS about his Bollywood aspirations:



Sheer excitement
Hide N Seek has a novel concept and feel. We are a group of friends who are playing the game of hide-and-seek in a mall. I am playing this rude, ruthless and extremely proud character. But it's not a negative character. Working on the film was a great experience. I know Purab (Kohli) and Ayaz (Khan) from my modelling days, and we chilled out together everyday after shooting.

Choosing right
I'm choosy. After playing the negative role of a tycoon in Guru, I played the part of an honest struggling model in Fashion. I want to act in different kinds of films in varied roles. But I want to do a lot of intense roles, as I like to see powerful personas on screen. I love action movies and would love to do death-defying stunts in some of them!

Southern schooling
Though I started off my movie career with Telugu films, I am not doing any films down South right now. Working in the South was a great learning experience for me. It taught me the techniques of film-making, and a lot of discipline. I was lucky to work with some big banners there. I am surprised that Southern directors chose me, as I don't resemble a South Indian from any angle. They import girls from across India into films; I guess they wanted an imported boy (laughs).

Zooming ahead
I have a passion for cars and bikes since childhood. When I was a kid, my family owned an Ambassador and there used to be this Fiat parked outside our home. I so wanted us to own that car and one day my mom told be that we did. From that day on, I used to study, play and eat in the Fiat. Now I hope to get a pilot's license one day; nothing beats the thrill of flying.
