"Criticism is a part and parcel of every profession. It is like fair assessment of the work and it implies that I need to work hard and improve.
"Even if I give a blockbuster, there will be criticism. If the hero is so bad then the film wouldn't have worked. Even when I do my 50th film there will be criticism. It is my duty to keep improving," Arjun said.
The Arjun Kapoor-Parineeti Chopra starrer film, though doing well at the box office, has been criticised by some who say it is like the "same old story repackaged in a modern way". The tagline of the film says Parma (Arjun) and Zoya (Parineeti) are born to hate, but destined to love, which indicates that the movie is somewhat similar to the tale of Romeo amd Juliet.
Clueless about next project
Arjun Kapoor says he doesn't know yet what's next on his platter.
"Nothing has been finalised yet. I have met Shimit Amin socially. If anything comes up they (YRF) will make an official announcement," said Arjun who is under contract with Yash Raj Films (YRF).
In "Ishaqzaade", Arjun paired opposite Parineeti Chopra, who was launched with YRF's "Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl" last year.
According to rumours, the duo have signed other films together too. But Arjun tells a different story.
"We have not signed anything after 'Ishaqzaade'. All are rumours. We are not doing Pradeep Sarkar's film. We both are under contract (with YRF), so we are working with this company. Now what they have finalised, I d'n't know," he added.
