Actor Arshad Warsi wants to direct films like popular Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani, who is an expert in mixing social messages with entertainment in his movies.

"I want to direct films that get my attention. I want to direct films like Rajkumar Hirani like 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S'. His films, which have a message, have left an immense impact," Arshad told IANS.

The actor, who has acted in comedy films like "Golmaal" series, "Hulchul" and "Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya", says his films should also have entertaining elements.

"It should be entertaining too. A variety of films are being made. I want to tell stories that need to be told," said the 45-year-old.

Before becoming an actor, Arshad was a choreographer and he has displayed his dancing prowess on the big screen, but says they were easy ones.

"Choreography is my passion and I like to dance. I did films that had dance, but not exactly the kind of dance that I want to do. It was all easy dance steps, which were easy to pick up. I would like to do full-fledged dancing," he said.
