Arjun Rampal says the primary job of an actor is a reinvention, as the moment one starts repeating roles, shelf life is born. In the last few years, Arjun has featured in films of diverse genres -- thriller Kahaani 2, the Arun Gawli biopic Daddy to war drama Paltan.

"All an actor really desires is to reinvent himself. The primary job of an actor is reinvention. So I want to keep at it and try different things. "If you keep doing the same stuff, you get slotted and to be categorised in a certain way is creating a shelf life for an actor," Arjun told PTI. The actor, however, says making a "universally acceptable" film is a challenge. "To make a universally acceptable film, you have to cater to different audiences. The path that I choose to walk on is not to do the typical films which you see. That's a conscious decision I've taken."
