Arshad
Warsi
is
one
sad
man
these
days.
"I
was
so
looking
forward
to
working
with
Amitabh
Bachchan
again
after
Zamaanat.
But
it's
not
destined
to
be,
at
least
not
right
now," laments
Arshad
after
having
to
opt
out
of
their
only
film
together.
"I've
no
choice
but
to
leave
Teen
Patti.
I
was
looking
forward
to
it
because
it
was
with
Amitji,
and
also
because
it
was
my
first
film
with
a
female
director.
But
my
dates
for
Teen
Patti
are
now
clashing
with
my
own
production
which
I
start
in
July.
If
it
was
just
one
more
assignment
I'd
have
happily
swapped
it
with
Teen
Patti.
But
I
am
turning
producer
and
it's
a
big
leap
for
my
career.
I've
all
the
pre-production
in
place.
And
any
delay
would
be
fatal
for
my
plans
as
a
producer."
Arshad
however
needs
to
clear
the
air
with
Mr.
Bachchan.
"I
need
to
explain
to
him
why
I'm
not
doing
Teen
Patti
before
people
go
to
him
with
all
kinds
of
mad
implications.
I
want
him
to
know
I'd
give
anything
to
be
in
the
same
film
with
him.
In
fact,
I
want
to
produce
a
film
that
features
the
both
of
us."
