Arshad Warsi to play a double role in the offbeat crime comedy Jeevan Bheema Yojana

Arshad Warsi is a comedy expert, as evidenced by his recent film 'Bachchhan Paandey,' in which he stars opposite Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, and Jacqueline Fernandez. And now it appears that the actor is set to step things up a notch, as Arshad will be seen in his next film, Jeevan Bheema Yojana, playing a double part for the first time in his career.

The film is a humorous crime comedy directed by Abhishek Dogra, who also serves as the film's producer for the first time.

In the film, Arshad will play Jeevan and Bheema, two very distinct but similar-looking characters. While one belongs to the world of white-collar professionals, the other is immersed in the world of crime, and the tale revolves around what happens when their paths meet. The film began production in Mumbai a few days ago and will be shot in several locations throughout the city.

Arshad confirmed all this as he revealed excitedly that he found the script insanely funny. 

“I was cracking up every now and then during the narration. And the cherry on cake was the double role. The director has his vision and I am following that. I am playing two individuals who look the same, but are completely different personalities. The script has a good balance of humour and drama.”

The actor goes on to talk about how he has prepped for these two different characters. 

“As for the prep, the mind is a very powerful tool. Like I was Ajay Kumar in Sehar and Circuit in Munnabhai— now imagine them in one film!”

Jeevan Bheema Yojana has a lot of humor packed in with some drama.
