Mumbai:
Actor
Arshad
Warsi
is
looking
forward
to
play
a
conman
in
Ken
Ghosh's
upcoming
film
alongside
R
Madhavan.
The
actor
would
be
teaming
up
with
R
Madhavan
for
the
first
time
on
the
big
screen
for
Ghosh's
yet-to-be-titled
film.
"The
film
with
Ken
Ghosh
is
about
two
conmen.
It
has
R
Madhavan
and
me.
The
movie
is
based
in
Haryana.
We
will
start
working
on
it
this
year
after
I
complete
Dedh
Ishqiya," Arshad
told
PTI.
Reportedly,
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
will
be
playing
the
female
lead
in
this
film.
Arshad
will
also
be
seen
playing
a
dacoit
in
another
film
titled
Chambal
Safari,
a
wacky
satire,
and
unlike
what
the
film's
title
may
suggest,
it
is
not
a
violent
or
a
dark
film.
The
movie
is
about
a
bunch
of
dacoits
in
Chambal
who
are
going
through
a
lean
phase
as
bandits
and
all
this
leads
to
certain
funny
situations.
In
Chambal
Safari,
Arshad
would
be
playing
the
role
of
a
dacoit
but
in
misery.
"I
play
a
dacoit...
it
is
not
a
negative
sort
of
character.
He
is
a
dacoit
in
misery...
who
has
a
gun
but
can't
afford
bullets.
It's
a
beautiful
film...
a
satire,
a
reality," Arshad
said.
"They
(dacoits)
are
so
poor
in
real
life.
It
is
the
realities
that
will
make
everyone
laugh.
The
film
is
about
the
dream
of
this
dacoit
to
one
day
walk
out
and
be
welcomed
by
the
whole
village,
but
nobody
comes
forward.
He
is
bad
and
sad,"
he
said.
Aamir
Khan
was
reportedly
approached
for
this
film
initially.
Arshad
will
begin
shooting
for
the
film
from
September
in
Chambal.
"The
film
needs
a
particular
kind
of
weather.
We
will
shoot
in
September-October-November
in
Chambal,
as
that
is
the
best
time
for
the
shoot.
It
is
very
interesting.
I
liked
the
script," he
said.
Maqbool
Khan,
who
made
the
critically
acclaimed
Kabootar
followed
by
Lanka,
is
directing
Chambal
Safari.
