Mumbai: Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor said that actors need to be very secure in their career before taking a leap to Hollywood as it is difficult to start from the scratch.

"If you are given the opportunity to go there and do some work, you should do it because you are representing your country and skills. It is amazing what Priyanka has achieved and I am sure Deepika will do equally well. She is such a talented personality and has only gotten better with time," said Arjun.

The actor believes that it takes tremendous confidence to take up Hollywood projects.

"They have achieved a lot here to have that comfort and confidence to pick themselves up from here, go there, and start from scratch. It's not everybody's cup of tea. You have to be in a very secure place in your life and career to take that opportunity," added Arjun.

Several Indian actors like Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have worked in Hollywood films in the past. Arjun believes it is very "emotional" to work in the west.

"Priyanka has achieved so much here. She has picked up her bag and gone there. Also, she has invested so much time in her work. You cannot do it half-heartedly. It is very emotional to go there as an Indian actor and play the main lead. You need to be focused to do it. You can't just do it because everybody is doing it. Even if I did a Hollywood film someday, I would put my best foot forward," said Arjun. Arjun, meanwhile, will be seen in R Balki's Ki And Ka, co-starring Kareena Kapoor Khan.
