Arjun Rampal: 'Prakash Jha Gives You Characters Which Allow You To Push Yourself'

Arjun Rampal, who won accolades for his performance in Prakash Jha's Raajneeti, has once again teamed up with the filmmaker for his upcoming film Chakravyuh. Rampal will be seen essaying the role a cop in the movie and the actor claims that Jha is one of his favourite directors. "Prakash ji is one of my favourite directors to work with. I like a role if it scares me in the beginning, if the character makes me feel whether I'll be able to do it or not. In the past, characters that I've assumed I'll be able to do easily, I have messed them up. But Prakash always gives you characters which allow you to push yourself and go beyond," said Rampal. "He comes to you with a lot of research and material. Before we start shooting, we do a lot of readings and rehearsals, these are complicated subjects so we don't want to take sides. Prakash's best quality is that he creates an environment for his actors when they come on the sets, which enhances your body language and performance," he further added. Arjun will play the character of S.P. Adil Khan, in the movie which is based on the issues of Naxalites. The film also features Abhay Deol, Manoj Bajpayee and Esha Gupta in the lead roles and is set to release on October 24, 2012.
