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.
