Till now, Arslan says that none of the projects he has done so far has made a mark in his career. He is still waiting for that one project. In fact, his next is very special to him, and hopes it will connect with the audience.
“My career goal is now that I need a good, excellent role because whatever work I’ve done so far I’ve realised that my artistic potential is much higher than that. There’s someone who will trust me at some point of time. It will happen for sure. At the same time, I’m satisfied with the way my career is going. But obviously, the hunger is always for more. You want to do better. I treat every project as my first and last, try to make it exciting, for you never know what’s in store for tomorrow,” he shares.
Ask about the message he wants to give his fans and his goodbye note to 2021 and he says, “Be safe and stay healthy. These are tough times but we’ll go through it and get over it. We must adapt to the situation, and then overcome it. I will want to give my audience some good work and will try to do more good work. Hope they will enjoy my work and love it.”
