"Kabeer and I had differences:" Arshad Warsi

Arshad Warsi is ready to face the biggest examination of his professional life. His debut film as producer, Hum Tum Aur Ghost, is scheduled for release tomorrow. "I am excited and confident. I've made this film with a lot of passion and I sincerely hope the audience likes the effort," Arshad informs me.

Meanwhile, the industry is abuzz with the speculation that Arshad had problems with the director of the film, Kabeer Kaushik. That explains why Arshad decided to take matters in his hand. "Well, we never got into fights. I am not the violent kind," Arshad states on record, "But it's true that Kabeer and I had differences."

The differences stemmed from the fact that Kabeer wanted to make Hum Tum Aur Ghost into a serious film, while Arshad wanted it to be a light entertainer. "That's true," Arshad doesn't deny the industry talk, "Kabeer's interpretation was tilting more towards serious, while I wanted it to be a light entertainer. So we decided that let the editor [Steven] decide what's best for the film. We decided to step out of the editing suite and let him take the decision."

So, whose interpretation is Hum Tum Aur Ghost eventually? "It's Arshad Warsi's vision. It has its serious moments, but you'd come out smiling in the end," Arshad smiles.
