Arshad Warsi looks his part in 'Kabul Express.' Facing death threats in bad weather and terrain, Arshad acted in the film, which was shot almost entirely in Afghanistan. He spoke to IndiaFM about his forthcoming film.
You have always been hounded by the media. So what was it like playing one of them?
I was just playing the role, there was never an incident in the film questioning people, or an interview. So it didn't feel that way. I felt a little different because of covering all that and a camera in front of my face, but there was never much of a difference actually.
You are now so well known as Circuit. So do you think people will accept you in this completely different role?
I think so, I think Circuit is just a character that I played in one movie and everybody loved it so much that it stuck in people's head, but I have to keep continually doing films and I feel an actor gets accepted depending on the work he does. So if I have done a good job, I'm accepted no matter what character I am playing.
What was it like working with John?
With John it was absolutely fantastic, it might sound very clichd that one actor says this about his co-star, but John is a wonderful man. He's really a pleasure to work with and a great human being. I am happy I am doing another film with him, and hopefully a few more. The feeling I get working with John is the feeling I get working with Sanju. They are pretty much alike, in the sense John does his work, comes to the set, he has no hang ups, he has no problems. I like that. Everybody should do their job and cut out the crap that goes around.
