'I'm patient, my time will come': Arjun Kapoor breaks silence on his box office failures on Koffee With Karan 8

For Arjun Kapoor, the beginning in Bollywood was smooth as his debut film Ishaqzaade turned out to be a hit. He had further commercial successes with films Gunday and 2 States. However, the actor has of late faced back-to-back box office failures with Panipat, Sardar Ka Grandson, Ek Villain Returns, Kuttey and The Lady Killer among others. During his recent appearance on Karan Johar’s talk show Koffee With Karan Season 8, he got candid about his box office failures.

Arjun said that he has to look at the positives and take it as a phase. "I think I have spoken on this couch before about many aspects of my life. I also look at the positives I have had this opportunity. I have done well when I started. I'm the first actor in my generation to deliver a 100-crore film with Dharma and Sajid Nadiadwala that was 2 States. I have seen the high. I've done a film like Ki and Ka that did well where I played a house husband. I've done all kinds of work and worked with so many people."

He continued, “So I have to look at the positives and understand this is a phase. Your selection can go wrong. The audience can change and they can change the way they feel about you. You have to keep being honest and sincere and keep trying as long as you're being given opportunities.” He also added that he will not get bogged down by the numbers. "I've been part of films that didn't pan out but I didn't do them with the intent of making bad films. They just turned out to not be the best. You can't control the box office, unfortunately. I'm patient, my time will come. All the wrongs can get right with one Friday but I've to just keep at it and not get discouraged," he added.
