The Importance of Film Promotions
Arjun Kapoor emphasized how crucial promotions have become in today’s film industry. He mentioned that legends like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan use innovative strategies to promote their films, setting a benchmark for the younger generation. According to him, promotions start from the trailer launch, but city tours and interactive sessions help reach wider audiences.

“Back in the 90s, going to the theatre was an event in itself. I still remember watching DDLJ twice with my mom. Movies were therapy for us,” he recalled.
Industry Struggles and Changing Audience Preferences
Acknowledging the tough phase that Bollywood is going through, Arjun Kapoor stated that the audience’s preferences are evolving, making it essential for filmmakers to adapt. He cited the success of 12th Fail as an example of how good content always finds an audience.

Arjun Kapoor spoke highly of veteran actors like Govinda, Anil Kapoor, and Akshay Kumar for their impeccable comic timing. He also praised the new generation of actors like Ranveer Singh, Varun Dhawan, and Kartik Aaryan for their contribution to the comedy genre.
