Arshad once again back as a producer

Arshad Warsi's first outing as a producer, Hum Tum Aur Ghost, may have tanked, but he is gearing up to don the production hat yet again. Circuit is in the process of finalizing two projects, a thriller and a sweet romantic love story set in the Fiji islands as the next offerings from his banner.

Says a source close to Arshad, "He has been specially invited by the Fiji government to shoot his films there. Currently the actor is shooting for Golmaal 3. In August, he begins Dhamaal 2. He is planning a work-cum-pleasure trip with wife Maria Goretti and his two children, son Zeke (5) and daughter Zene (3) to Fiji."

Warsi confirms, "My next two films should begin by this year-end. One will be a sweet sweet candy floss romance like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge which I loved. The other one is a slick action thriller." Arshad feels it wasn't his director Kabeer Kaushik's fault that Hum Tum Aur Ghost didn't fare well. "It did not belong to Kabeer's genre of films. He is a good director when it comes to serious realistic cinema like Seher and but not with light-hearted romances."

The actor adds, "I should have directed Hum Tum Aur Ghost myself. I am working on a thriller which I have co-written and plan to direct in a couple of years. I will need to take a complete break from acting for a year before I turn director."
