Arshad... From a tapoori to a forgery art

Arshad Warsi shot to instant fame after MUNNABHAI M.B.B.S though his breath taking performance, as a cop in SEHER was highly commendable. The lovable actor is all set to captivate hearts once again in Nikhil Panchamiya's ANTHONY KAUN HAI. "I play a forgery artist, a normal relaxed guy who has a girl friend in ANTHONY KAUN HAI. He has amazing expertise in duplicating fake documents, passport's and id's. I basically play this guy who's always on the run, from pillar to post to save his life" enthuses Arshad.

The camaraderie between him and Sanjay is very evident. He is all praises for Sanju and producer Nikhil. "Sanjay is just fantastic. He's a great buddy and we share a good rapport. Nikhil is one of the best producers that I've ever worked with. He knows how to make a good film and never cringes about issues like money and all," adds Arshad.

Isn't he skeptical about the audience expectations after MUNNABHAI M.B.B.S? "I hope we get the same response and affection from people in ANTHONY KAUN HAI and LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI. I am more worried about the latter. It's hard to repeat the same things again though I've given my best shot", asserts Circuit.

And what about being typecast as a comedian now, doesn't he feel the need to break free from his tapoori image? "I am really petrified of this comedian image that people have of me. I will cut down on comedy films as I am beginning to feel a little fed up of it", he signs off.
