Sanjay Mishra, Rajesh Tailang Reflect on Arjun Bewakoof’s Special Connection With Prayagraj

Sanjay Mishra recalled that he had hoped the film's journey would begin in Allahabad, saying he had wanted to be present when that milestone took place. However, circumstances prevented him from attending the beginning of the film's journey in the city.

“I had a wish in life that the first time I saw the sea in Bombay would be special, but that couldn’t happen. That wish remained just a wish, and instead, I saw the sea at Kanyakumari for the first time,” Sanjay said.

Drawing a parallel with the film, he added that he had similarly hoped to witness the beginning of *Arjun Bewakoof* in Allahabad.

“I had a wish that the journey of Arjun Bewakoof would begin in Allahabad, and that I should be present when that beginning happened. But unfortunately, that couldn’t happen. Smita is like a daughter of our family, and I am with you, Smita,” he said.

Sanjay also thanked audiences in Allahabad and Prayagraj for supporting the film, adding, “To all the people of Allahabad and Prayagraj who have supported Arjun Bewakoof, thank you. Thank you so much. Long live Arjun Bewakoof!”

Rajesh Tailang also expressed his affection for Prayagraj, describing the city as a place where he feels particularly blessed and welcomed by its people.

“Prayagraj is such a sacred land. Whenever I come here, I feel blessed by this land and I always receive so much love from the people of Prayagraj,” Rajesh said.

He added that the film's connection with the city goes beyond its shooting location, as the story and production are deeply rooted in Prayagraj.

“The people of Prayagraj themselves have made a very lovely film on the soil of Prayagraj, titled Arjun Bewakoof,” he said.

The teaser for *Arjun Bewakoof* was unveiled in Prayagraj on September 26. Rajesh, who is part of the film's cast, said he was unable to attend the launch because of another ongoing shoot but promised to be present at future events associated with the film.

“I apologise that I was unable to come because I am busy with a shoot here. But whenever the film releases, and whenever there is any event related to the film in the future, I will definitely come. Because I always love coming to Prayagraj,” he said, thanking audiences for their support.

Directed by Smita Singh and written by Anand Raaj, *Arjun Bewakoof* is positioned as a genre-blending film combining neo-noir suspense, dark comedy, crime and situational humour.

The film stars Sanjay Mishra, Rajesh Tailang, Dolly Singh, Anand Raaj, Malvi Malhotra, Jigisha Joshi, Shikhar Mishra and Satendra Yadav.

Produced by 8th Pillars Motion Pictures, the film has been extensively shot in Prayagraj, with its teaser offering a glimpse into the city's distinctive atmosphere and the chaotic world inhabited by its characters.
