Arjun is all set


Arjun Mathur's Bollywood dream is definitely taking shape slowly, but it's not just 'luck by
Arjun Mathur


chance'.


"It does help to know the right people, but its equally important to be hardworking and dedicated," says the actor who doesn't really have any filmi connections to back him. But armed with acting courses from The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, New York, Barry John's institute and Kishore Namit Kapoor's acting school, the actor has been noticed in Bollywood. He has already worked with some big names like Shabana Azmi, Boman Irani, Irrfan Khan and Farhan Akhtar.

Arjun started his career by doing short films that were mostly based on a social issue like Positive, which was directed by Farhan Akhtar and where he played Shabana Azmi's son. That was followed by Migration, a film made by Mira Nair that spoke about AIDS. In B-town, Arjun may have acted only in a few movies, but both Barah Aana and Luck by Chance got him a lot of appreciation. Now the actor is moving on to things that seem to be getting bigger and better.

The actor is a part of Onir's I am and Karan Johar's My Name is Khan. And though the actor is excited about sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, this is not the first time he's facing the camera alongside the superstar. "I have worked with Shah Rukh Khan before. I have done a TV commercial with him and there was also a scene during the pre-climax of Luck By Chance," he tells us. And the actor is all praise for King Khan, "I think SRK is just amazing. He oozes energy and ease. He is so polite and a lovely human being to be with. It feels great to work with him as I have grown up admiring him."

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
