Why Arjun Rejected So Many Films?

Action King Arjun is endearing himself to all with his performances and more recently he captivated with his screen presence in Abhimanyudu. Speaking to scribes he revealed many interesting incidents in his life. He said after his films Maa Pallelo Gopaludu, Shankar Guru turned hits; he blindly signed numerous films which gave him huge shocks. 

Arjun didn’t get offers for more than a year and many directors and producers avoided him. During that time, he decided to produce, direct films and after working as an assistant director, he scored a hit with Sevagan (Rowdy Police). After that, Pratap too turned out to be a hit which made producers run after him.

Arjun however threw them out furious since they didn’t help him during his troubles. Ace director Shankar too was one amongst them. Arjun recollected how Shankar visited him many times and his words ' Sir, it is not right to refuse without listening to my story', forced him to listen to him.

Arjun heard the story with the intention of rejecting at any cost but Shankar blew his mind with the story of Gentleman. He was about to repeat similar mistake when Shankar came up with Mudhalvan (Oke Okkadu) story to him after Rajinikanth rejected it due to his busy schedules. Arjun initially rejected as he felt he cannot do such role. 

Arjun is a big fan of Kamal Haasan and planned to watch his film Guna in theatre in disguise. However fans recognized him at the end of the first half and he had to escape from the theatre. He was bowled when Kamal offered him a role in Drohi. 

Arjun said Jagapathi Babu gave him the impression of being an arrogant brat when he met him first in Subhavarta after he watched him in a careless manner chewing a gum. He said even Jagapathi Babu had felt the same about him. Arjun affirmed that he later became very close to Jagapathi Babu and realized how simple person he is.
