Till now he was generally seen in parties and events, now be ready to watch this dashing young Kapoor lad in Yash Raj Film’s new youth films studio Y-Films production Virus Diwan. Boney Kapoor’ son Arjun Kapoor gears up for his Bollywood debut

As the name suggests the movie is about a techie who is quite a pro is hacking. So can we expect Boney Kapoor’s son to do an Ankit Fadia on big screen? With the tagline that reads ‘Enter. Infect. Escape’, the movie is a tech-based caper, a story of India’s youngest and most twisted hacker.

The Kapoor family is super excited about Arjun’s debut. His mother Mona Kapoor and sister Anshula are on seventh heaven. His cousin Rhea Kapoor congratulates him on Twitter and writes, “So happy for my brother arjun. A new journey begins”. Aunt Maheep Kapoor tweets - “My nephew Arjun kapoor ! So so happy for him :)”

From very young age Arjun has been a cinema lover and used to accompany his dad Boney Kapoor to studios. In order to get the hang of the creative side of filmmaking, he joined Karan Johar’s production as an assistant director to Nikhil Advani in Kal Ho Na Ho. Like his cousin Sonam Kapoor he too has worked hard to get a lean body. Arjun is quite close to Salman Khan and the star has also guided the young boy with fitness tips.
