2. He made his debut in Mira Nair’s 2007 film ‘Migration’ with Irrfan Khan.
3. As we said, he is an extremely underrated actor and his journey in the film world is a proof of that. The actor had a fair share of ups and downs. He faced nepotism in the industry and lost many roles to star kids too.
4. Before his successful digital (Amazon Prime) show ‘Made in Heaven’ in 2019, Arjun Mathur has many films like ‘Barah Aana’, ‘My Name Is Khan’ and ‘I Am’ in his kitty. He also featured in advertisements for Airtel 3G and Axis Bank.
