Arjun Das discloses on what he picked up from Anna Ben while working on 'Con City' (IANS Exclusive)
Chennai, June 27
Actor Arjun Das, who is one of south India's fastest rising stars and who has a habit of learning from every actor he works with, has now disclosed what he picked up from Malayalam actress Anna Ben, who plays his co-star in his just released film 'Con City'
Talking to IANS, Arjun Das said, "I think I get to learn from every actor that I work with and acting for me will always be a collaborative process. When they're performing, I need to observe that and I'm hoping I can give my best so that it helps them perform as well."
If that was the case, what was the one thing he had picked up from his co-star Anna Ben while working on Con City? Replying to this question, Arjun Das said, "It was just the way how she approaches the character. It's so easy for her to switch on and switch off. The way she comes to the scene. Whether it was tearing up or it was smiling or be it delivering her lines. You know, Tamil is not her go-to language but even then, to pick that up and then deliver what Harish wants is not easy. And you know when you see someone who's totally nailing it every single day! It is a learning process for me."
Written and directed by Harish Durairaj, 'Con City', apart from Arjun Das and Anna Ben, also features Yogi Babu, Vadivukkarasi, Imman Annachi and Akhilan in pivotal roles.
On the technical front, the film has music by Sean Roldan and cinematography by Aravind Viswanathan. Editing for the film is by Arul Moses A while production design is by Raj Kamal. Costumes in the film have been designed by Navaa Rambo Rajkumar while lyrics for the songs in the film have been penned by Mohan Rajan.
While the dances in the film have been choreographed by Santhosh, the fight sequences have been choreographed by Action Sandhosh.

I’m really curious about "Con City" now! The cast looks solid—Yogi Babu and Vadivukkarasi are always entertaining. Hope the story matches the talent. 🤞
Respect for Arjun Das for being so humble and collaborative. It’s refreshing to see an actor who treats acting as a learning process rather than a solo performance. Anna Ben sounds like a true professional—switching emotions on and off like that is no joke!
Tamil cinema is truly embracing cross-industry collaborations now. Anna Ben doing a Tamil film and nailing it despite the language barrier is inspiring. Hope more actors follow this trend. 😊
Nice to see Arjun Das growing as an actor. But honestly, I’d love to see him in more challenging roles—he has the intensity, but sometimes the scripts don’t do justice. Hope "Con City" is different!
Technical team looks solid—Sean Roldan and the rest always deliver quality. Fingers crossed for the movie. Indian cinema needs more stories with heart and this kind of collaborative spirit among actors. 🙌
