After ‘Finding Fanny’, Arjun Kapoor is all set to show some ‘Tevar’

Arjun Kapoor entered the industry with romantic drama film Ishaqzaade. After romance, Arjun Kapoor experimented with a crime thriller flickGunday, followed bya delicate performance in Abhishek Verman’s 2 States. Now the man is basking in the success Finding Fanny and gearing up for his next venture Tevar.

"He couldn't have asked for more, Finding Fanny was supposed to be a film that showcases Arjun as a performer and in that aspect, the youngster has done well. Though the film was running on the star power of Deepika Padukone with seasoned actors like Dimple Kapadia, Naseeruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapur leading the show, Arjun Kapoor hasn't gone unnoticed. On the contrary, he has turned out to be the surprise package of the film, especially in the conclusive moments where his outburst turned out to be a highlight. He could have gone the Gunday way but he managed a restraint," says a source.

"In a largely satisfying year where Arjun's three films so far have accumulated over 200 crore (2States crossed the 100 crore mark, Gunday was in the vicinity of 80 crore while Finding Fanny has gone past 20 crore), the youngster is maintaining a good strike rate so far, what with newer set of fans being accumulated over a period of time, Now is the time for him to consolidate and Tevar is just the right film at the right time," a distributor adds.

Tevar is supposed to be an action-romance film directed by Amit Sharma and written by Gunasekhar. The film will also star Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpayee in pivotal roles and slated to release on January 9, 2015.

"The film is already fetching some good prices for theatrical rights. For the makers, Arjun's stardom coupled with 'shuddh desi hindustani' appeal of the film is allowing them good returns, Arun has been making the right moves so far and he has to just keep the momentum on. Of course once in a while he can choose to experiment the way he did with Finding Fanny. However, for some more time at least, it would only do good to him if he builds an image a la Ishaqzaade, Gunday or Tevar. As an angry young man with some 'tevar' to show, he is pretty much filling the slot," an insider adds.
