Arjun Kapoor at the book launch event of Me, Mia, Multiple.
Actor Arjun Kapoor said he wanted to become a director, but ideas continuously flowing from his mind prompted him to put his plans on hold.
"I tried writing because I wanted to be a director. But I wasn't good at writing as my mind would run much faster than my hand could. And I thought of too many things which eventually didn't make sense in terms of a character. I just wanted to encompass everything into that script," Arjun said during the launch of writer Debashish Irengbam's book
Me, Mia, Multiple along with lyricist-poet Javed Akhtar.
"I was very naive and gullible at that time and thought that I could achieve it. But that's when I realised that I'm not yet ready for directing a film. Since then, I haven't dwelt on it. You evolve over a course of time and something you desire now might not be something you desire five years later," he said.
The
2 States actor also said he was "not a voracious reader" and that he did not have an appetite for reading.
He said he always prefers watching films over reading books, and that he also did not read
2 States, the book on which his Rs 100 crore blockbuster of the same name was based on.
Arjun is preparing himself for his yet untitled upcoming romantic film with Kareena Kapoor Khan, directed by R. Balki.
