What Arjun Rampal Said About Playing Major Iqbal in Dhurandhar
He told Grazia, "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."
He further added, "To see the event is one thing, what happened behind the scenes to see those events taking place is something that would excite me as an audience."
"I felt horrible when you're doing it because you love your country so much, but I guess that's what an actor's job is and you just dive into it," said Arjun.
