Arshad Warsi misses dancing on screen
Arshad Warsi loves to dance. And he is a great dancer at that. So it almost natural that he is upset at not being given a chance to show his skills on screen. He rues that he is not being allowed to shake a leg in any of his forthcoming movies including Chance Pe Dance and Shortcut either.
Arshad Warsi loves to dance. And he is a great dancer at that. So it almost natural that he is upset at not being given a chance to show his skills on screen. He rues that he is not being allowed to shake a leg in any of his forthcoming movies including Chance Pe Dance and Shortcut either.
"What can I do?" Arshad protested. "I love to dance. I know I dance well. But directors don't allow me to dance. In Chance Pe Dance, I play this out-and-out loser who needs that one big break to change his life. And when that break happens, all hell breaks loose. Sadly, I don't get to dance again," says a sad Warsi.
Arshad impressed with his dancing skills in his debut film Tere Mere Sapne. Before entering Bollywood, he worked as a choreographer for stage shows.
"I've many times asked directors to let me do some dancing. But they've ignored my request. This is a funny and strange industry. But I love it even if some people choose to be unfair to me," says a disgruntled Arshad.
But according to a source Warsi should pretty much give up any hope of dancing soon.
"The film's hero had laid a pre-condition - no dancing from Arshad. If you look at any of Arshad's big projects with big banners in recent times -- Munnabhai, Shortcut, Krazzy 4 or even Salaam Namastey, the other guys got to dance."
"In Krazzy 4, Irrfan Khan got to dance with Rakhi Sawant. Not Arshad. In fact, the hero in our film specifically forbade Arshad from moving a leg saying he's, as it is, a scene stealer and we don't need him to be a floor burner," adds the source.
Is this one of the reasons why Arshad is producing his own film?
"Probably, yes. You could say that. My film is looking gorgeous. We've one more schedule to go in Goa. Then we'll be done," said Arshad.
After going with the working title I Believe In Angels throughout its making in London, Arshad has finally zeroed in on Kaun Bola as the final title for his first production. The film stars Diya Mirza in the female lead.
