The actor believes he has finally found his space in the industry. &quot;Everybody wants to surprise people..I too want to do that. I think films like &#39;Rock On&#39;, &#39;Rajneeti&#39;, &#39;Chakravyuh&#39;, &#39;Inkaar&#39; turned out to be good for me. <img alt="Arjun Rampal" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/Arjun-Rampal_3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 604px;" /> Prakash Jha thinks I am the most versatile actor in the industry. I think I can never say no to him even if he has two-three lines for me to say in his film. And so is the case with Abhishek Kapoor,&quot; Arjun told PTI in an interview here.u00a0 From walking the ramp as a model to winning a national award as an actor, Arjun has come a long way since his debut with &quot;Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat&quot; in 2001. In between were a string of flops like &quot;Dil Ka Rishta&quot;, &quot;Asambhav&quot;, &quot;Yakeen&quot; and &quot;Ajnabee&quot; among others. His breakthrough came with the remake version of &quot;Don&quot;. Thereafter he was part of successful films like &quot;Rock On&quot; which fetched him the national award. Then he teamed up with filmmaker Prakash Jha for films like &quot;Rajneeti&quot;, &quot;Chakravyuh&quot; and upcoming &quot;Satyagraha&quot;. His latest release &quot;D Day&quot; has been received positively. &quot;I think I have made a space for myself in the industry. I think that recognition has come... otherwise I wouldn&#39;t be getting to play interesting parts. There is a belief that people have in me today. I want to create a market for myself, which will engage and entertain people; they will not be dry and boring,&quot; the 40-year-old actor said. Arjun feels the time he entered the industry was the right one, as he learnt a lot during his ups and downs. &quot;It takes time when you are an outsider and don&#39;t know industry, don&#39;t know what works and are relying on other people&#39;s opinion. But then you make up your own mind as what you want to do. I started discovering that after films like &quot;Om Shanti Om&quot;, &quot;Rock On&quot; and &quot;Rajneeti&quot; etc..&quot; &quot;These are the kind of films that will transform and become characters. These films entertain, participate, engage people and that for me is entertaining,&quot; he added. Arjun is celebrating the success of &quot;D Day&quot;. &quot;I am relieved. The film took a slow start but it was encouraging to see a great jump over the weekend. I am looking forward to see how the audience will react this week as word of mouth is extraordinary. We did have a special screening for industry people and are getting positive response,&quot; Arjun said. Nikhil Advani&#39;s last few films like &#39;Patiala House&#39;, &quot;Chandni Chowk To China&quot; and &quot;Salaam-e-Ishq&quot; bombed at the box-office but this did not deter Arjun from working with him. &quot;For Nikhil, to do a film like this was a challenge...But he was clear what he wanted and he worked hard for it. He took interest, gave us all the research material,&quot; he said. u00a0
