Movie Career
To break the myth, which associated models with bad actors, Arjun at the height of his modeling career, left it all to make in big in the movie industry. He went on to make his big screen debut with Rajiv Rai`s Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat, which also stars Sunil Shetty, Aftab Shivdasani, and Keerti Reddy in the lead roles. Though the movie bombed at the box office, Arjun garnered good reviews for his performance and bagged the International Indian Film Academy Award for Star Debut Of The Year-Male. He followed this up with a series of critical and commercial duds like Deewaanapan (2001), Dil Hai Tumhaara (2002), Dil Ka Rishta (2003), Asambhav (2004) Yakeen (2005), and Vaada (2005).
In 2006, Arjun appeared in a supporting role in Farhan Akhtar`s Don, starring Shahrukh Khan in the lead role. The movie was a worldwide hit and Arjun was appreciated for essaying the role of Jasjeet Ahuja, a man manipulated by Don to steal diamonds. He then, for the first time in his career starred in a negative role in Farah Khan`s Om Shanti Om, which was a light-hearted tribute to Bollywood. For the portrayal of Mukesh Mehra aka Mike, Arjun received tremendous critical acclaim.
He was next seen in the 2008 Hindi rock musical film Rock On!!, alongside Farhan Akhtar, Shahana Goswami, Prachi Desai, and Purab Kohli. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, the movie opened to great reviews by the critics but grossed averagely at the box office. About the movie, Prakash K. Jha of Bollywoodhungama noted, "Seldom has a film blended the music of life into the fabric of a film with such seamless expertise. Rock On!! is that rarity where every component character and episode falls into place with fluent virility. In the same year, Arjun made his English film debut with Rituparno Ghosh`s The Last Lear, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Shefali Shah, and Divya Dutta in pivotal roles.
In the subsequent years, Arjun went on to appear in successful films like Housefull, Raajneeti, Ra.One, and D-Day.
