"We shot Namaste England after Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. It was a very gruelling and intense film, which was amazing to work on. But Parineeti Chopra (co-actor) and I have done two intense films. Finally, we had a release of that positive, fun and happy energy on Namaste England. We felt like the way children are allowed to go to the park to play after doing all your work. First, you go to school - that was Ishaqzaade, then you do your homework - that was Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, and then you get to go and play in the park. Playing in the park was Namaste England," this is how Arjun Kapoor describes working on this film in an exclusive chat with mid-day online. The heart-to-heart interaction also involves a brief about his seven years of "fairly successful" career and his equation with sister Janhvi Kapoor.

We see that your equation with Parineeti Chopra has grown multifold ever since your first film. How would you describe this friendship?
Everyone feels that it's been a long sabbatical between both of us in terms of acting and being together. But, the truth is, we've just been around each other all the time. We share the same management, we've shared events and work. So, it's not like we have not been in touch. But, I guess the biggest difference is we shot a film after six years. So, the relationship growth happened on its own in these six years. It wasn't like we leaped from 2012 to 2018, and met each other. And, that we have seen with success, failure, highs, lows, good days and bad days. We have always had that. What I guess I could say that between Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (their other upcoming film) and Namaste England, we've reached the level where we don't need to say things to each other and just understand each other. That's an amazing place to be as friends and co-actors.
