SRK To Attened Arjun’s Restaurant

The actor is turning restaurateur with a lounge-cum-dining bar in New Delhi. Called Lap (which stands for Lounge and Party), the place opens this November.
Arjun is starting out in Delhi because that’s where he started his modelling career. There are plans of setting up Lap in Mumbai next year.
Old idea
Says Arjun, “It’s not an idea I suddenly had overnight. It is something I wanted to do for long. While travelling around the globe, I’d always keep a keen eye out for such places.”
Lap will be set up along with Mumbai’s well-known restaurateur AD Singh (the name behind Olive). “I don’t know much about the restaurant business, so I teamed up with him due to his expertise in the field.”
Making people wonder
AD Singh and the actor have been talking about their venture for a while - and it has finally taken shape. “I was on a flight to Goa at New Year’s last year. He was also on board and that’s when we got discussing Lap - a name which both of us came up with together. At least it will make people wonder…and then we can say it’s only ‘Lounge And Party!’ “
The actor’s wife Mehr Jesia is also providing valuable inputs. “Everyone can give their suggestions, we are listening to all of them. The décor is being done by Nozer Wadia,” says Arjun.
It is learnt that Lap’s launch will be a star-studded affair with several B-Town folk attending. Buzz is that buddy ShahRukh Khan is likely to do the opening honours. “Everyone will be invited,” says Arjun who has had several tasting sessions already.
In 2006, the actor turned filmmaker with I See You that was made by his production house, Chasing Ganesha. Next up, is the restaurant. “I always keep my options open and look for new challenges,” adds Arjun who will be seen in Abhishek Kapoor’s Rock On and Deepak Tijori’s Fox.
