Mumbai: Arjun Kapoor is soaking in the adulation he’s receiving for playing a negative character in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’.

While shooting for the film, though, Arjun was going through the ‘worst phase’ in his life.

In a candid conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Arjun revealed that he is suffering from an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

The actor shared that while portraying the character of Danger Lanka in ‘Singham Again’, he was disturbed mentally, physically and emotionally.

“When I signed this film, I was going through the worst phase of my life. Personally, professionally, emotionally, mentally and physically. I did not know whether I was depressed or not, I just knew something was not working. I was procrastinating a lot. I stopped enjoying watching films and I only know that. For me, my life was films. And then it reached a point where I think I self-imploded. I was not a happy person. And the fire within me diminished,” Arjun revealed.

The actor further shared that his ‘physicality’ has become a ‘strength’ now.

“I do look like a menacing personality… I do carry myself in a certain way on-screen. So, I am definitely open to it. I think it allows you to really have fun,” he added.

Talking about his health, Arjun disclosed, “I have something called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. It’s an extension of having a thyroid issue. Your antibodies fight against you. It’s almost like I can take a flight and gain weight because the body goes into stress. The stress mode is when your antibodies believe something is wrong, and it goes into action. The more relaxed I am, the better I look — which is ironic because, in this profession, you’re not really relaxed.”

Arjun’s portrayal of Danger Lanka is being lauded by movie buffs.

Fans are going gaga over the actor for his looks and performance in the film.

Some even compared him to the Bollywood legend Amrish Puri.

The multi-starrer ‘Singham Again’ hit theatres on November 1 and left cash registers ringing at the box-office.

The movie features Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone among others, as well as a Salman Khan cameo.
