Arjun Kapoor is receiving unanimous love for his cold-blooded, outrageous, blood-splattered look as the villain in Rohit Shetty's much-awaited Singham Again! Arjun says he owes it to his mentors Aditya Chopra & Rohit Shetty for believing in his ability to essay negative roles!

Arjun says, `I started my career in the industry by playing characters with negative shades like Ishaqzaade, Aurungzeb and after all these years, here I'm, playing a villain in Singham Again! While Aditya Chopra saw it in me to play characters that are flawed then, now, I'm thankful to Rohit Shetty for having the belief that I could play an out and out villain in his ambitious and much-loved Cop Universe film! Rohit Shetty instilled faith in me and has been a guide at every step of the way!`

Arjun adds, `Both these people have been true mentors in my film career and I'm grateful that a hit-machine film-maker like Rohit Shetty believes that I could surprise people by playing a villain in Singham Again.`

The actor says it is thrilling for him to play the villain in Rohit Shetty's film because it gave him the chance to experiment as an actor too.

Arjun says, `I have always wanted to experiment on screen and give audiences something different to look at. So, playing an arch-enemy of the cops in Singham Again was a thrilling opportunity for me.`

He adds, `As I said, it feels like a full circle in my career when I'm on the sets of Singham Again. I got a lot of love by playing characters that were negative early in my career and I wish to get the same and more with Singham Again.`
