Arjun Kapoor reveals Vikrant Massey did a better job in Half Girlfriend; says, “He is much more nuanced in that sense”

In an interview with Galatta Plus, Arjun Kapoor revealed that it was his dubbing that impacted the character he played in Half Girlfriend. Stating the issues he faced in getting the dialect right, he said, “I wish I didn’t have to dub for Half Girlfriend with the dialect. I think I had done a good job on the set but then unfortunately, I had to dub and I am not somebody who is very fond of dubbing because it undermines the honesty in that moment. Also, we, in this generation don’t dub all the time. Not to say it was my worst or whatever but I look back as a critic and I wish I was able to retain the pilot, I was much better at my dialect. You learn the dialect and perform it.”

During the same interaction, the actor went on to add how Vikrant Massey performed his role very well. “Like Vikrant is much better in the dub. He is a much better actor in the film also, is much more nuanced in that sense. I was supposed to play more to the gallery but I was not able to get the dialect bang on in the dub which I had in the pilot. So that’s a minor look back and learning experience for me."

For the unversed, Vikrant Massey plays the role of Shailesh Khanna, who is a close friend of Madhav Jha aka Arjun Kapoor and often tries to protect him from getting hurt. Speaking of Half Girlfriend, the movie starring Shraddha Kapoor, is based on the Chetan Bhagat novel by the same name.
