The Ishaqzaade debutant spoke in detail about his thoughts on the upcoming Mohit Suri film that he will be seen essaying a lead role in and here’s what he had to say. Nervousness about the release of Ek Villain Returns seems to not even be nearing the periphery of Arjun Kapoor’s mindset. In fact, he emphasised the importance of attempting to do diverse films, while maintaining a balance between them. ‘Full faith’ is what Arjun has in the upcoming Mohit Suri film. The shooting of the film had already begun in March where John Abraham and Disha Patani were spotted in Mumbai shooting for the same. Earlier, while spilling the beans around the project, director Mohit Suri called the film his 'dream project' and was always keen on making the sequel. 

Talking about the same, he said, "Ek Villain was my passion project and a labour of love. The kind of love that I still receive for 'Ek Villain' overwhelms me. I am sure with 'Ek Villain Returns', the love is only going to grow bigger. And while I cannot reveal much about the film, I can assure you that it is going to be a thrilling rollercoaster ride."
