Arjun Kapoor plays basketball like a pro and boy!

While Arjun Kapoor is hectic with the shooting of Anees Bazmee’s Mubarakan, but that hasn’t deterred the actor from promoting his forthcoming film Half Girlfriend.  

Lately, Arjun Kapoor took to Instagram to post, in what looks like a throwback picture, where the actor is seen prepping up for his role. The actor wrote, “Playing it up for my #HalfGirlfriend! #19thMay.” The Instagram picture has four different shots of the actor playing basketball like a pro and boy, he looks adorably cute in all the photos.

In Mohit Suri’s Half Girlfriend, Arjun Kapoor plays a national-level basketball player and as reported, the preparation for it was far from easy. In an interview to a famous daily, the director was quoted as telling, “It was important to get the nuances right and for the sport to look as authentic as possible on screen. In order to achieve that, Arjun was required to become a basketball player instead of just enacting the part.”

After going through rigorous training for months for which top NBA coaches were flown down from the US, looks like Arjun is all set to give the professional players a run for their money.

Mohit Suri’s Half Girlfriend is a forthcoming Indian romantic comedy based on the 2014 best-selling novel by the same name by writer Chetan Bhagat. Half Girlfriend is a tale about a boy who hails from a backward region of Bihar but wants an English-speaking upper class Delhi girl as his girlfriend. The film is scheduled to release on 19th May, 2017.
