Actor Arshad Warsis performances in Munna Bhai MBBS Golmaal Fun Unlimited Dhamaal and Ishqiya have been loved by audiences and critics alike He says less visibility does not bother him as an actor as his parameters of choosing a project combines not only good script but also collaborating with good peopleArshad will soon to be seen in Sunny Deol and Preity ZintastarrerBhaiyaji Superstar which releases on FridayEven though he has been appreciated consistently over the years what makes him do so few filmsFirstly it feels nice for an actor to gain the confidence of the maker as they believe that I can bring something to the table while playing a character I can handle a good human being who is an average talent but cannot handle a great talent who is an asle as a human being Arshad told IANS in an interviewApart from a good script the cast and crew matter to me I really can work with an averagely talented crew but cannot work with people who are brilliant at their jobs but bad people to mingle with That really puts me off So for me finding a combination of a good script and good people is a rarity That is why selective work is happeningThe actor has managed to make his mark in commercial potboilers as well as contentdriven films like Anthony Kaun Hai Kabul Express Jolly LLB Hulchul and Golmaal 3 What makes him so confident about his position in the film industry which is so cutthroat otherwiseArshad explained I am the last person to be worried about the attention I strongly believe that if an individual knows his job and is really good at it the work will always come One cannot stay jobless if one is sincere Fear of losing visibility comes when you are faking talentCiting an example he said People like Amitabh Bachchan Rishi Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah will always work no matter how old they become or how few films they are doing Because they magnify talentBorn and brought up in Nasik Arshad initially struggled to survive but he was very good at dancing and won several awards and prizes in dance competitions including at World Dance championship London Before entering Bollywood as an actor Arshad worked as an assistant director and choreographed a song for the film Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka RajaHow does he look back at his journey the transformation of a dancer into an actorI really really miss dancing When I started dancing at a young age I was so passionate about dance I knew it is my passion and I wanted to live for it but I knew I would not be able to make my living out of it Back then the opportunity was not much for a dancer to make money I knew I had to do something else to earn money There came the actingBut my friends and family said that my personality did not change much Ive only become a little mature with age smiled the 50yearold If he had to choose his favourite and most challenging character as an actor which would it beArshad said I enjoyed playing Babban from the film Ishqiya because that was a very tricky character to play He is a grey character with a sense of humour yet something is very off about him I liked that Of course I loved playing Circuit from MunnabhaiHowever he said he does not find any of his characters challenging I do not look at any character as challenging I try to understand the essence of it and perform I do not analyse my performance and really do not worry about its future I do not have any anxiety before a performance Of course my heart breaks if my performance is not liked by the audience because that is all you want as an artiste but I get up and go again It is not the end of the worldThe actor is also gearing up for his digital debut with the show Asura More than the medium Arshad is excited about the story because he feels it is very wellwrittenI am not talking much about the medium because for me acting is acting Whether it is a film or a web show it is about acting in front of the cameraCatch up on all the latest entertainment news and gossip here Also download the new midday Android and iOS apps to get latest updatesThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
