Celeb in the Spotlight : Arjun Kapoor!

BollyCurry shines it's light on the newest debutante, Superstar of Tomorrow, Arjun Kapoor, in this edition of Celebrity in the Spotlight.

Kapoor, born on 26th June 1985, one of the children of the film producer Boney Kapoor and Mona Shourie Kapoor, while being the nephew of Anil and Sanjay Kapoor - the duo; actor and producer, hence a cousin to Sonam Kapoor, the actress and Rhea Kapoor, the film producer. Anshula Kapoor is his sister along with two step-sisters from Boney's second marriage.

Arjun began his career as an assistant director in 2003 for Kal Ho Naa Ho and Salaam-E-Ishq in 2007. His original debut film, Virus Diwan, was shelved from being released, hence Ishaqzaade became his hit-debut film alongside Parineeta Chopra, the cousin of the one and only Priyanka 'Piggy' Chopra. After Ishaqzaade, he was seen in Aurangzeb, which failed to garner the public attention. Seeing his extended Kapoor family influence, we are sure the young lad had not much to struggle for, whereby one of his beginning directorial post was in the same movie as his uncle, Anil Kapoor; followed by producing movies with his father.

His upcoming projects include Gunday and 2 States along with the English film Finding Fanny Fernandez opposite Deepika Padukone and Hindi remake of Telugu movie Okkadu, with Sonakshi Sinha as his co-star. Apart of all the acting, producing and directing, he has also tried his hands on hosting for Star Guild Awards and has walked the ramp for Manish Malhotra and Shabana Azmi while being a show-stopper for Kunal Rawal.

We, at BollyCurry, hope for a continued shining and glamorous career ahead for this aspiring rising star, Arjun Kapoor.
