Career

edit

Arora studied at the Film and Television Institute of India and began his acting career with small roles in the films Shuddh Desi Romance (2013), Tevar (2015) and Naam Shabana (2017).[2] His role in the first, produced by Yash Raj Films, led him to a more prominent role in the company's comedy film Bank Chor (2017).[3] He then played Rohan Rathore, a chauvinistic army aspirant, in the 2018 series The Test Case.[4] Gayatri Gauri of Firstpost wrote that he "essays his role well without becoming a caricature".[5] In 2020, he had a supporting role in the Netflix film Chaman Bahaar.[6]

In 2023, Arora starred alongside Shahid Kapoor in the Amazon Prime Video crime drama series Farzi.[7] Dishya Sharma of News18 found his "comic timing and dialogue delivery" to be "impressive".[8] ThePrint's Nidhima Taneja found his to be the "breakout performance" of the series, adding that "the finesse in his performance, and his spot on Mumbaiya dialect, is a treat to watch".[9]

Arora played a supporting role in the biographical sports film Chandu Champion (2024), starring Kartik Aaryan as Murlikant Petkar.[10] He will next feature in the Tamil war film Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan as army officer Mukund Varadarajan.[11]
