Arjun Rampal
Arjun Rampal is moving in and out of Ra One. He is now in the film again.
Strangely, one person, who is walking in and out of Ra One is Arjun Rampal. He was first signed for the film, then he quit the film and now it seems he is again back in Ra One, which stars Shahrukh Khan in the lead role.
Since Shahrukh and Arjun are very close fiends, both worked together in Om Shanti Om with Arjun getting a lot of appreciation in the lead negative role. Therefore when Shahruk and director Anubhav Sinha planned Ra One, their first choice for the lead negative character in the film was Arjun. Moreover, since the action-packed role is exciting enough for any actor to take it up, Arjun was more than willing to be a part of this project.
But, just as Anubhav Sinha had problems in starting the film because his first choice for the lead role Shahrukh Khan had suffered a shoulder injury, he had problems in choosing the lead negative character as well since Arjun’s back problem did not allow him to be a part of Ra One. Eventually, because Arjun was not available, the role went to Vivek Oberoi.
The good news for Anubhav is that after Shahrukh, even Arjun is fast recovering from his back pain and his body may allow him to take-up this action-packed role. A source close to Arjun while confirming this said, “Arjun is recovering speedily and is all charged up to play the villain’s role in Ra 1.”
Everyone associated with the film must be hoping that the process of Arjun’s moving and out of the film is over and this time around, if he is back in the film again to play the role of lead negative character, he will be a part of the film till the end.
