´Raajneeti´ is my toughest role: Arjun Rampal
- Planet Bollywood Special Correspondant           Let us know what you think about this story

Fresh from his National Award, Arjun Rampal says he is playing his toughest role in director Prakash Jha's dark political thriller 'Raajneeti'.

In the film, Arjun is cast as Ranbir Kapoor's zany, flamboyant elder brother.

"I don't play the conventional 'Bade Bhaiyya'. It's the toughest role of my career. I had to be larger-than-life but not over-the-top," Arjun said.

"This man I play is whimsical, flamboyant and audacious. He can do anything. His kid brother has gone abroad to study. My character has stayed back in India to create his own unpredictable world. He's in his own space, though not spaced out," said Arjun.

He was guided by his director in interpreting the character.

"'Rock On', which took my career to another level and got me the National award, was a dream role. I got to play a rock star! This man in 'Raajneeti' is completely alien to me. He's a man who does the unthinkable. Do I expect another National Award? No performance can be tailored for recognition."
