Arjun Rampal leaves for Bangkok to do cameo in Rascals

Arjun Rampal has left for Bangkok to do a 20-day cameo for the movie Rascals. Arjun has become lately a little choosy about his roles. At this point in his career, he doesn’t want to do cameo. In fact, he was in two minds about this project, but Sanjay Dutt convinced him to work as the role has specially been written keeping in mind Arjun Rampal. This also gives him an opportunity to work with David Dhawan.

Says a source, "Although Arjun was tempted to work with David Dhawan for the first time, the last thing he wanted do was to get into the cameo space again. Repeatedly, filmmakers have put Arjun in the cameo space with the promise of bigger roles later. Karan Johar and Farhan Akhtar had given Arjun walk-on parts in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. These led to sizeable parts in We Are Family and Rock On. But now Arjun is done with cameos."

Just before flying out to Bangkok on Monday night, Arjun said, "Yes I finally agreed to do Rascals. I always wanted to work with David Dhawan. And it is Sanjay Dutt's first production. So all the more special. I've about twenty days work. However, cameos as a rule are not what I'm looking for in my career right now."

Arjun is also looking forward to his Ra. One in which he is the main antagonist. "I've played the bad guy successfully in Om Shanti Om. Even Raajneeti had shades of grey. So there's no apprehension about acceptability as a villain. At the end of the day, a good role is a good role, black or white or grey. I'm happy with the way my career has shaped up."

The main stars in Rascals are Ajay Devgan & Sanjay Dutt & it’s the 1^st time Arjun will be working with David Dhawan.

Arjun Rampal has taken too many small roles & he has always done justice to his character. You can never ignore him. He does it so well. You notice him more than the other stars. He even looks better than females & I don’t think it’s an exaggeration. I’m amazed that he’s still been given such small roles. This guy besides being good-looking is also a remarkable actor. And he is, by all means, one of the best models I’ve ever seen.
