Arjun Rampal on Portraying ISI Major Iqbal in Dhurandhar: I felt horrible when doing it because you love…


Arjun
Rampal
levelled
up
the
bar
of
intensity
as
Angel
of
Death,
ISI
Major
Iqbal,
in
the
recently
released
Dhurandhar

and
it
unleashed
a
storm
all
over
the
internet.
On-screen,
the
actor
channeled
vengeance
and
pulled
off
the
grunge
like
never
before.
And
off-screen,
the
shift
is
immediate.
The
actor
revealed
what
made
that
happen
and
even
shared
that
he
wanted
to
get
out
of
his
character
of
Major
Iqbal
as
soon
as
possible.

“I
wanted
to
get
out
of
the
character
as
soon
as
I
could.
One
of
the
important
reasons
to
do
it
was
because
it
is
an
important
film
to
do,”
he
shared.
Further,
he
highlighted
that
an
actor’s
primary
job
is
to
simply
act
and
live
the
character,
even
if
the
character
makes
the
performer
feel
‘horrible’.
“To
see
the
event
is
one
thing,
what
happened
behind
the
scenes
to
see
those
events
taking
place
is
something
that
would
excite
me
as
an
audience.
I
felt
horrible
when
doing
it
because
you
love
your
country
so
much,
but
I
guess
that’s
what
an
actor’s
job
is,
and
you
just
have
to
dive
into
it,”
he
added.

In
Dhurandhar,
Arjun
Rampal
not
only
played
villainy,
but
he
committed.
Arjun
made
the
audience
feel
the
chills
and
terror
with
his
on-screen
presence
and
acting
range,
and
simply
proved
that
the
role
was
tailor-made
for
him.
He
did
not
shout
for
attention,
nor
did
he
give
any
loud,
evil
laughs,
but
he
brought
a
slow-burning
danger
that
crept
under
the
skin
and
stayed!

Now,
audiences
are
eagerly
waiting
with
bated
breath
to
see
the
mayhem
he
will
unleash
in
Dhurandhar
2,
releasing
in
theatres
on
19th
March,
2026.
