Meet actor whose debut film was superhit, than delivered 7 flops in a row, later made a comeback with Rs 400 crore hit, his name is..., film is...
This actor entered the world of cinema with dreams of becoming a leading hero, but fate had different plans. Despite giving his best, he faced one failure after another, 11 films that couldn't win the audience. Just when his career seemed to be slipping into oblivion, a multi-starrer film came his way, not as the hero, but as the antagonist. Ironically, it was the dark shade of the villain's role that illuminated his talent. That performance not only won hearts but also resurrected his journey in Bollywood, proving, 'you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.' Bollywood Actor Arjun Kapoor
Here we are talking about Arjun Kapoor, who began his career with the hit film 'Ishaqzaade' in 2012. Despite a strong start, several of his subsequent films, such as 'Aurangzeb' and 'Finding Fanny', struggled at the box office, with only 'Gunday' and 'Two States' performing moderately well. After experiencing 7 consecutive flops, he revitalized his career by taking on a villain role in 'Singham Again'. This shift shows that embracing darker characters can lead to a successful comeback. However, his list of unsuccessful films includes 'Finding Fanny', 'Tevar', 'Mubarakan', 'Namaste England', 'India's Most Wanted', 'Panipat', 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar', and 'Half Girlfriend', which was average. Other films like 'Ki & Ka', 'Kuttey', 'Ek Villain Returns', and 'Lady Killer' also contributed to the decline of Arjun Kapoor's career. Arjun Kapoor as an Antagonist
Following this period, Arjun Kapoor decided to portray a villain on the big screen. His performance in Rohit Shetty's action thriller 'Singham Again' garnered significant attention. In the movie, he excelled in the role of the villain Danger Lanka, providing tough competition to Ajay Devgn's iconic character Bajirao Singham. Released in 2024, the action-thriller marked a turning point, making Arjun Kapoor a star once more. The film also featured other prominent actors, including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh. The total earnings of the film worldwide reached Rs 400 crore. Arjun Kapoor's Recently Released Film
Arjun Kapoor's film 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' was released in 2025. Alongside him, Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh played lead roles. Unfortunately, the movie received mixed reviews from critics, and the audience did not respond well to the story. As a result, it flopped at the box office.
Made at a cost of Rs 60 crore, 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' underperformed upon release. According to a report from Bollywood Hungama, the film earned Rs 9.38 crore in India, with total worldwide earnings of Rs 12.73 crore. The verdict for Arjun Kapoor's 'Mere Husband Ki Biwi' is a flop.

Last Updated: Shah Rukh Khan was seen with his dog during a Sunday drive in his Rolls-Royce. It's not every day that Shah Rukh Khan peeks out of his car window—but when he does, even his furry companion steals the spotlight. In a video that's now going viral on social media, the superstar was spotted out for a Sunday drive with a fleet of security convoy following him, accompanied by none other than his adorable pet dog! Dressed casually in a white tee, beanie, and sunglasses, Shah Rukh Khan was seen with his pooch perched on his lap, both of them gazing out through the window of his luxurious Rolls-Royce. The moment was brief but heart-melting. As soon as the actor noticed the swarm of cameras and fans trying to catch a glimpse of him, he gently rolled up the windows and was whisked away by his chauffeur. With Mannat, his iconic sea-facing bungalow, currently undergoing renovation, Shah Rukh Khan has temporarily moved out with wife Gauri Khan and children Suhana and Aryan. Despite the change in address, the King of Bollywood continues to command attention—whether it's at events, film sets, or, as in this case, during an unplanned car moment with his four-legged best friend. As for Shah Rukh Khan's new address, the actor recently rented two luxurious duplex apartments in Pali Hills, Khar West, on a three-year lease. These properties belong to the Bhagnani family, with one apartment, owned by Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh, leased to Shah Rukh for Rs 11.54 lakh per month, alongside a security deposit of Rs 32.97 lakh. The second apartment, owned by producer Vashu Bhagnani, is rented at Rs 12.61 lakh per month, requiring a Rs 36 lakh deposit. In a recent chat with News18 Showsha, Gauri Khan spoke about how the renovation of Mannat is shaping up. She said that work in her home is currently under progress, and her renovated house should come around in the next one year. Meanwhile, on the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand are set to join forces once again for their next ambitious project, King. They worked together in the 2023 film 'Pathaan'. In King, Shah Rukh Khan takes on the titular role, with Suhana Khan playing a key character and Abhishek Bachchan stepping into the antagonist's shoes. It is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix. First Published:
