"I am going to shoot 'Akkad' in way that Bollywood audience hasn't witnessed yet. Yes, I know that there is a lot of difficulty involved in it but I am up for the challenge," Arshad said.
The actor is aware that Indian audience aren't used to complex narratives especially when it comes to Ritchie who is known for making quite a few flip-flops between multiple episodes.
"I am certainly aware about that. But My style would have a Guy Ritchie feel to it but the overall narrative would be far simpler. See, you can make a complicated film and pat your back as a director. However, for audience, the final result should be simpler. The audience should eventually understand what the film was all about. "I want them to go back home, start discussing about the film and then manage to crack what it was all about. It is then that they would realise the work of director in making a complicated screenplay eventually look easy," Arshad said.
So, when does the work begin on 'Akkad'? "Well, currently I am busy in the shoot of 'Golmaal 3' and soon after that; I would get busy with 'Dhamaal 2'," said Arshad.
"Meanwhile, I would be using time between the shots to prepare myself for the challenge around direction that lies ahead. I won't be beginning the shoot of my film before mid of next year. The story and screenplay of 'Akkad' is very complicated and it is a difficult film to be executed. I want to be 200 per cent sure before I come on sets for this film."
New age Bollywood filmmakers seem quite taken with the narrative style of Hollywood directors like Quentin Tarantino and Ritchie.
Anubhav Sinha tried it in 'Cash', which unfortunately bombed at the box office.

Newcomer Pankaj Advani too cracked it reasonably well in 'Sankat City' though the film went totally unnoticed.
However, the biggest of all remains 'Kaminey', which was inspired by Tarantino.
Director Vishal Bharadwaj saw good critical and commercial success coming his way with the film. Early this year his assistant Abhishek Chaubhey too got it right with Arshad starrer 'Ishqiya'. The actor is looking for something similar.
"The narrative is not going to be linear at all because that would hardly be any fun. I will ensure that there is a lot of style in the way 'Akkad' is presented," said Arshad.
