Arjun Kapoor slams publication for using only actors’ names for films
Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor, who is known to stand for gender equality and women rights every time, has pointed out the need of gender equality in news headlines. On Twitter, Arjun pointed to an article which read: "It's Kartik Aaryan vs Arjun Kapoor! 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' to clash with 'Panipat' on December 6, 2019." He then commented: "I think we ought to include Kriti Sanon, Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday's names when we refer to our films. It's high time, equality (should) begin with headlines."
Arjun has often spoken on women empowerment. He also starred in a film titled "Ki & Ka", which delved upon gender stereotyping. In Ashutosh Gowariker-directed "Panipat", he will feature with Kriti Sanon and Sanjay Dutt. The historical period drama will see Arjun in the role of Sadashivrao Bhau who served as the Sardar Senapati (commander-in-chief) of the Maratha army during the third battle of Panipat.
Infact, Arjun Kapoor posted heaps of praises for sister Sonam Kapoor Ahuja for choosing a bold script like Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga in which she played the role of a homosexual and called her courageous. He even revealed that Sonam has always been that ‘Ladki’ whom he has loved to hang out with. He also praised his uncle Anil Kapoor for choosing a script that believed in beyond the perceptions of the world. Arjun on Tuesday tweeted a childhood photograph of himself along with Sonam and said that the "Neerja" actress is the first girl in his life that he loved "hanging out with".
On box office, Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s Panipat will clash with "Pati Patni Aur Woh", an adaptation of B.R. Chopra's 1978 film with the same title. The film, a comical take on extra-marital affairs, is directed by Mudassar Aziz. The original film revolved around a married couple Ranjeet (Sanjeev Kumar) and Sharda (Vidya Sinha) and how things change after he gets a promotion and secretary Nirmala (Ranjeeta Kaur) enters his life.
