    On a lighter vein, Arjun was asked to name the most overrated actor of the industry and he said: "I don't think Sidharth Malhotra is a good actor".


    Kubbra called "Sanju" and "The Accidental Prime Minister" overrated films. To this, Arjun, who was seen as Congress President Rahul Gandhi in the film, added: "I got hate for 'The Accidental Prime Minister' and I hate myself for doing that."
