Arjun Kapoor marks 14 years in Bollywood with Ishaqzaade: Parma still feels like the beginning

Arjun Kapoor celebrates 14 years in Bollywood since his debut 'Ishaqzaade', calling his character Parma the beginning of his cinematic journey.

"14 years later, Parma still feels like the beginning of everything. #Ishaqzaade was the start of my journey as an actor - Arjun Kapoor"

Mumbai, May 11

Actor Arjun Kapoor celebrated 14 years in Bollywood as his debut drama "Ishaqzaade" completed one more year of being released on Monday.

Dropping a few sketches of his popular scenes from the drama, Arjun claimed that his character Parma still feels like the beginning of his cinematic journey, which he intends to take forward with exciting projects ahead.

Arjun penned on his official Instagram handle, "14 years later, Parma still feels like the beginning of everything. #Ishaqzaade was the start of my journey as an actor, in cinema and with all of you...And it continues (red heart emoji) (sic)."

Helmed and directed by Habib Faisal, "Ishaqzaade" has been backed by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films.

With Parineeti Chopra as the female lead, the romantic actioner further starred Gauahar Khan, Natasha Rastogi, Anil Rastogi, and Shashank Khaitan in ancillary roles, along with others.

"Ishaqzaade" is an official remake of the 2009 Bengali drama "Dujone".

Set against the backdrop of a fictional town of Almor in Uttar Pradesh, the drama shares the journey of Parma Chauhan (Played by Arjun) and Zoya Qureshi (Played by Parineeti), who belong to rival political families. Their passionate romance ends up shaking the deeply rooted religious divides in the society.

While the film marked Arjun's primary appearance on the big screen, it was Parineeti's second project after her debut with "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl" in 2011.

Shifting our focus to Arjun's recent projects, he last appeared in the romantic comedy "Mere Husband Ki Biwi", co-starring Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar. The movie failed to perform well at the box office.

Arjun has yet to announce his next project.

Additionally, he was also recently seen as the primary antagonist in Rohit Shetty's "Singham Again".

He ended up receiving a lot of acclaim for his performance in the cop drama.

Parma was such a raw and intense character! Arjun really brought the anger and vulnerability of a small-town boy perfectly. His pairing with Parineeti was electric. Those scenes in Almor still give me chills. 14 years, wow! Time flies, yaar. 😊

I know Bollywood has a huge fan base, but I have to admit—I saw Ishaqzaade for the first time last year and was blown away. Arjun's performance was raw and authentic. It's interesting how some actors start with a bang but struggle to maintain consistency. Still, respect for his dedication!

Honestly, I feel Arjun has been underrated. He gets overshadowed by bigger stars, but watch his performances in Ishaqzaade, Gunday, or even Singham Again—he commits 100%. The industry needs to give him more meaty roles. And yes, Mere Husband Ki Biwi was a misfire, but that happens. Onwards and upwards!

Ishaqzaade is a special film because it tackled religious divides in a love story without being preachy. Arjun and Parineeti had such chemistry. I still remember the song "Chokha Jaaye Na" and that climax. It's a modern classic in my book. Happy 14 years, Parma! ❤️

14 years is a long time in Bollywood. Arjun deserves credit for surviving this long. Ishaqzaade was a fantastic debut, no doubt. But I hope he chooses scripts more
