New Delhi: Arjun Rampal, who was lauded for his performance in ‘Dhurandhar’, revealed that he felt horrible acting as the ISI Major. He added that he wanted
to get out of character as soon as he could. In an interview with Grazia, the actor opened up about the challenges.
“I wanted to get out of the character as soon as I could. One of the important reasons to do it was because it is an important film to do. To see the event is one thing, but what happened behind the scenes to see those events taking place is something that would excite me as an audience,” said the actor, who portrayed Major Iqbal in the Aditya Dhar film.
