EXCLUSIVE: Arjun Kapoor claims Hera Pheri is his biggest memory of loving Akshay Kumar; reveals having THIS Aamir Khan film's poster in vanity

As a child of Bollywood, growing up with the magic of Indian cinema, I can wholeheartedly relate to Arjun Kapoor’s heartfelt admiration for the legends like Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. Having Hera Pheri as one of his earliest memories of loving Akshay Kumar is a testament to the timeless charm of that iconic film. And let me tell you, if I had a rupee for every time I watched Hera Pheri, well, I’d be richer than Raju himself!


At heart, Arjun Kapoor is deeply rooted in the world of Bollywood. Growing up, Indian films were a significant part of his life and left a personal impact on him. Lately, he shared that he enjoyed Akshay Kumar’s 2000 film Hera Pheri immensely as a co-star in Singham Again. Furthermore, he confessed to having posters of the Aamir Khan starrer Rang De Basanti displayed in his dressing room.

During a chat with TopMob, Arjun Kapoor shared his appreciation for Kumar. The actor, who is known for venturing into comedy roles, mentioned that he enjoyed watching Kumar’s character Raju in the 2000 movie Hera Pheri. Kapoor reminisced about certain scenes from the film and highlighted it as his most memorable moment of admiring Akshay Kumar on-screen.

In simpler terms, he expressed that Raju’s character in the movie “Hera Pheri” stands out as iconic to him. He mentioned that when Raju stands in those three lines and Tabu appears saying, “Pick him up,” this scene is a significant memory for him of his fondness for Akshay Kumar.

In his own words, the actor from Ishaqzaade confessed that he was an ardent admirer of Suniel Shetty and Akshay Kumar. This is why he made sure to catch the movie. However, neither of the actors fell short in impressing Kapoor, who ended up watching the film repeatedly and couldn’t get enough.

Arjun stated that he had watched the movie “Hera Pheri” numerous times. On occasions when the DVDs arrived, he would end up damaging them due to his frequent viewings.

In his own words, the actor who starred in Half Girlfriend considered every scene from the 2000 movie to be ‘memorable.’ He would often display the film’s posters on the walls of his vans during his childhood years, finding them inspiring and impactful.

Additionally, he hung posters for the movie “Rang De Basanti,” featuring Aamir Khan, which hit theaters in 2006, alongside actors like Siddharth, Sharman Joshi, Soha Ali Khan, and Kunal Kapoor, along with other talented cast members.

In terms of his professional life, Arjun Kapoor was recently featured in Rohit Shetty’s movie “Singham Again,” sharing screen time with Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Deepika Padukone, and others. His portrayal of the villain in this film has garnered much acclaim, with many praising it as a significant step in his acting career, even referring to it as a kind of “rebirth” for him as an actor.
