Arjun Kapoor does not pitch himself to Aditya Chopra

Arjun Kapoor 1

With the newer generation of actors being managed by certain production houses, one would imagine the young actors feel comfortable in pitching themselves for upcoming films by those makers. For instance, it is alleged that Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt are comfortable in showing interest for an upcoming Dharma Productions venture, as they were launched by the company. However, Arjun Kapoor says it does not work that way with Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films, even though his acting career is managed by YRF Talent.

In an interview with Deccan Chronicle, Kapoor said, “I think in YRF what happens that the director decides with Adi which actor he wants and then you are offered the film. You are allowed to decide if you want to do it or not. That’s how it functions for me from Day 1 at YRF. There is no first right to refusal that I am better for this. I don’t go and sit with Adi and pitch myself. He is the one who has made me and he knows my skills. I am sure in Dharma, it must be in a different way and here it is in a different way.”

Besides Arjun Kapoor, other actors managed by YRF Talent include: Ranveer Singh, Ayushmann Khurrana, Saqib Saleem, Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra, Vaani Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Rhea Chakraborty.
