<p>Actor Arjun Kapoor says he did not think that the recently-released "Mubarakan" would get such a great response at the box office and would continue running in the cinema houses for over a month.<br /><br />The 32-year-old actor says he was hopeful the Anees Bazmee-directed comic caper would find its audience even when there were other films such as "Jab Harry Met Sejal" releasing around the same time.<br /><br />In an interview to PTI, Arjun says, "We did not imagine that our film will get a four-week run. We wanted to put the best film out and let it speak for itself, which is happening (referring to the successful run of 'Mubarakan' in theatres)."<br /><br />The actor believes, given the current market situation, for a film to pull four weeks in the theatres is an accomplishment.<br /><br />"The film has released in a period where it is not easy to survive. I am happy with the fact that 'Mubarakan' has been loved and appreciated. It is a rarity to see films running beyond a week. (Also) I look at the positives and I feel you cannot ever control external factors, it is something you need to make peace with early in your career," he says.<br /><br />When asked if he has overtaken Shah Rukh Khan in the box office game, the actor says, "I think it (comparison) is disrespectful to a man who has achieved and attained so much. I am five-years-old in this profession. I have the highest regards for Shah Rukh sir. It would be wrong to talk about us in the same breadth."<br /><br />Arjun says he is content and happy as his producers have made money and that people have reciprocated the love for the film.<br /><br />"It was a well-reviewed film and we got encouraging feedback from everyone. It is a family entertainer and very rarely we see films that resonate with everybody, people enjoyed this clean humour."<br /><br />Despite the film doing well commercially, the actor says he is not someone who celebrates success.<br /><br />"My celebration for 'Mubarakan' is getting into prep work for Dibakar Banerjee's film - 'Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar'.<br /><br />"After 'Half Girlfriend', I had taken leave for one week so that I could recharge myself for 'Mubarakan'. I just need one week or ten days to recharge myself," says Arjun.<br /><br />The actor will started working on "Sandeep..." in which he is paired opposite hi "Ishaqzaade" co-star Parineeti Chopra. Following that, Arjun will be seen in "Namastey Canada".</p>
