Arjun had earlier commented on the sidelines of an awards event that he did not think that he would fit into the role of a college student in SOTY. But now he has said it was an "impulsive" comment.
When asked that if Aamir Khan, 50, could essay a college student in "3 Idiots", what made him think he isn't apt for a new SOTY instalment, Arjun said: "I am playing a student in 'Half Girlfriend' also, but 'Student of the Year' comes in a teenager type of space. And it also depends on who is making the film, the other actors with whom I share the screen and the material.
"Actually I was not expecting that type of a question that time (when I asked). It was an impulsive answer. But honestly, it should be right and should not look like I am playing a college student forcefully."
The actor, who was present on the set of a TV show for promoting his film "Ki and Ka", added: "For every film, we have to work differently towards it... So, if Karan (Johar) offers ('SOTY' to) me and if I think I can do it, I will do it definitely."
