Quite
active
on
the
big
screen
playing
a
variety
of
roles,
Arshad
Warsi
is
also
keen
to
be
seen
on
the
small
screen.
His
Jolly
LLB
came
out
Friday
while
he
has
Chambal
Safari,
Dedh
Isqiya
and
Joe
B
Carvalho
coming
out
in
the
future
--
but
he
won't
mind
adding
a
TV
project
to
his
kitty.
"Though
films
are
my
priority,
I
am
also
open
to
doing
TV.
I
would
love
to
appear
as
a
judge
on
reality
shows," said
Arshad,
who
hosted
the
first
season
of
"Bigg
Boss".
"Television
industry
is
growing
like
anything.
TV
actors
are
getting
their
due
recognition," added
the
actor,
who
is
also
planning
a
break
during
summer.
He
revealed
that
his
Dedh
Ishqiya,
which
also
stars
Madhuri
Dixit,
is
in
its
post-production
stage
and
that
it
may
release
in
April.
"I'll
be
taking
a
break
in
May
and
June
because
I
want
to
work
on
a
script," he
said
and
added:
"It's
Maqbool
Khan's
Chambal
Safari,
a
satire
on
dacoits.
I
never
do
research
work,
but
for
this
film
I'll
have
to
study
to
give
my
best."
"Though
comedy
is
my
favourite
genre,
I
can
never
say
no
to
politics,
action,
romance
and
thriller," said
the
actor
who
showed
his
serious
side
in
Sehar
and
won
appreciation
too.
After
playing
a
communist
in
Zila
Ghaziabad,
Arshad
is
seen
as
a
lawyer
in
Jolly
LLB,
a
Subhash
Kapoor-directed
satirical
drama.
The
44-year-old
says
that
while
selecting
a
film,
he
doesn't
worry
about
the
budget.
"I
don't
care
if
it's
a
low-budget
film.
The
script
has
to
be
strong.
And
a
director
should
be
clear
about
what
he
wants," said
Arshad,
known
for
his
performance
in
films
like
Munnabhai
series,
Golmaal
franchise
and
Ishqiya.
Arshad
feels
that
he
has
grown
up
as
an
actor.
"I
feel
it's
been
a
learning
experience.
When
I
started
my
career,
initially,
I
used
to
feel
what
am
I
doing
with
my
life?
I
wasn't
satisfied
and
used
to
think
that
I
am
not
a
good
actor.
I
even
thought
of
leaving
the
industry.
But
gradually
I
started
getting
good
films.
And
people
started
loving
my
work,"
he
said.
As
an
actor,
Arshad
"genuinely
respects
and
admires
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Naseeruddin
Shah".
"And
I
still
remember
when
Naseer
saab
complimented
me
saying
that
I
am
doing
great.
I
am
still
learning
and
always
try
to
give
my
best
shot."
He
is
also
proud
of
Indian
cinema,
which,
he
feels,
is
heading
towards
a
transition.
"We
today
have
brilliant
films.
People
know
about
films.
They
know
what
they
want
to
see.
Special
26
and
Kai
Po
Che!,
though
low-budget
films,
have
done
a
fabulous
job.
We
do
have
our
Rs.100
crore
club
and
I
agree
that
commercial
cinema
sells,
but
the
quality
of
work
is
also
important...
Also,
I
feel
one
should
have
artistic
freedom
and
censorship,"
he
stressed.
