Although his fans, had been long waiting to see Arjun on screen, the singer says that he was waiting for the right film. “I was waiting for the right role. I’m in no hurry. I believe the universe gives you what you settle for. With this project, I felt it was the right time and the right character to make my debut. The character I play in Radhe is nuanced. The script is great. Prabhudheva sir is directing it, and my character is an important one, and also a difficult one. I’m happy that I was considered for the role. All I’m going to say is that people are going to be surprised to see me in a character like this. It’s not the way they’re used to seeing me,” says the singer known for songs Aaya Na Tu and Baaki Baatein Peene Baad.

Arjun is excited to join the film industry, however he aims to maintain a balance between his singing and acting career. “I’m extremely excited about my debut as I’ve studied acting in a good school and wanted to pursue acting seriously. I believe that things happen in your life only when they are meant to, and I feel that in 2020 acting will become an important part of my career. Music will always have equal importance, but I believe I can do both, if I work hard. I’m grateful to my fans, who have always supported me. I hope they keep supporting me in this new part of my journey,” Arjun signs off.
