After making his debut with YRF’s "Ishaqzaade" and starring in two more films under the same banner - "Aurangzeb" and "Gunday", Arjun Kapoor has landed his second Dharma Productions' movie - Gutka, the first being "2 States". Arjun will share screen space with lead actor Akshay Kumar in "Gutka", a joint venture between Dharma and Hari Om Entertainment.


A source told: “Arjun impressed everyone with his raw performance in "Ishaqzaade". Though Imran and Ranbir are KJo’s favourites, Arjun is certainly playing catch up. He has already shot a lot of scenes for "2 States" and surpassed his previous performance.”


The source added: “Arjun is kicked about working with Akshay Kumar. His happiness knows no bounds as he is the only actor who has bagged two movies with Dharma in quick succession. He will finalise the portions of "Gunday", which is expected to go on floors this year.”


Reportedly, Karan was also in talks with Emraan Hashmi for "Gutka" but that may fizzle out. Emraan, however, does star in a joint project of Karan and Ekta, where he is cast opposite Kareena Kapoor.
