MUMBAI: Arshad Warsi became a household name with his role of Circuit in Rajkumar Hirani's hit franchise Munna Bhai MBBS. His mannerism, his tapori language, and his overall screen presence left the audience rolling on the floor laughing. However, Arshad recently said that he did the role of Circuit only because there was Sanjay Dutt in the lead. He called it a stupid role.
"I did Munna Bhai because it was Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), otherwise even Raju (filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani) knows that it is a stupid role. It really is on paper, it was nothing. Even Makarand Deshpande had said no to Circuit!”
He further added, "I listen to any script purely as an audience member. Would I want to see what I am doing? It can be any genre, it could be anything, but it should be something the audience would like to watch. After listening to the story, it is your gut feeling that tells you if you want to do that film or not.”
Arshad will be next seen in the upcoming action-comedy Bachchhan Paandey, which looks all set to deliver enormous entertainment and comedy. Talking about the film, he recently told IANS, "I think it is one of those films where the villain is just unapologetic. We have seen a lot of films where the villain is born out of a troubled past but in this film, the villain was just born like that. He does unthinkable things because he likes to."
