Arjun Kapoor says Priyanka Chopra was ‘out of their league’ in Gunday: ‘She was a big star, did the film with us’

He continued, “On the set of Singham Again, I was delivering my dialogue, and he did his signature Marathi Simmba style. I just burst out laughing, went over, hugged him, and said, ‘Baba, I love you so much.’ I enjoyed that performance immensely. I’m a huge fan of the cop universe.”

In the same conversation, Arjun recalled collaborating with Ranveer during Gunday, and how they were in awe of Priyanka Chopra who was a much bigger star than them at that time. “Gunday was a big film to mount for both me and Ranveer, given titular roles when we were only two films old in the industry,” he said.

Talking about Priyanka, Arjun shared, “Priyanka was a big star—she still is—but back then, she was out of our league, just like her character in the film. She did the film with us, and we had the chance to work with Irrfan sir, who played the opposition force. Ali [Abbas Zafar, director] mounted the film, and Aditya Chopra believed in its potential to connect with audiences. Gunday would have been even more valued if it released today.”

Gunday received mixed reviews from critics but was a success at the box office.
