Arshad Warsi has proved his mettle as a talented actor by appearing in supporting roles in blockbuster films including ‘Munna Bhai MBBS.’ However, he feels his potential has not been tapped well in Bollywood as a lot of leading actors kicked him out of movies due to their insecurity. Arshad made this shocking revelation in a new interview as he spoke about his journey in the industry. He stated many insecure actors had a fear that they might steal the spotlight.
During his appearance on RJ Siddharth Kannan’s show, the Golmaal star mentioned that while he was kicked out of projects by many insecure men, a couple of actors like Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt let him perform to his optimum capacity in a supporting role in their movies. Arshad shared the silver screen with Sanjay in the blockbuster film Munna Bhai. He has worked with Salman in a supporting role in his film Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. Warsi was quoted as saying, “In fact, one of the reasons I originally did Munna Bhai MBBS was because of Sanju. He's such a secure actor that I knew he'd let me do my own thing.” He went on to confess that initially, he was skeptical about playing the character of Circuit in Munna Bhai as he thought he wouldn't get noticed even if the film became successful.
Arshad added he considered himself as a sidekick to a goon and felt supporting actors don't really get recognised for their parts.
Meanwhile, the Dedh Ishqiya actor will next be seen in Jolly LLB 3 with Akshay Kumar. He confirmed the same while talking to Bollywood Spy and stated Khiladi Kumar is “a riot” and that he's looking forward to working with him. To note, Arshad and Akshay had earlier worked together in ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ which failed at the box office.
