Arshad Warsi was most recently seen in Bachchhan Pandey. Even though the fact that the picture bombed at the box office, the actor was praised for his performance. The multi-hyphenated artist, who has been in the industry for over three decades, celebrated his 54th birthday today. On his birthday, we revisit one of his old interviews with Bollywood Hungama, in which he named three films that helped shape him into the man he is today.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Arshad named three of the films that he believes helped shape him into the man he is today. “Munnabhai, Sehar, Jolly LLB,” he introduced himself. Arshad played the widely popular character Circuit in the Munnabhai series, which helped launch his acting career. Sanjay Dutt starred in the film, which was released in 2003, and its sequel, Lage Raho Munnabhai, was released in 2006. Arshad portrayed SSP Ajay Kumar, a cop in the 2005 crime drama Sehar. Meanwhile, he portrayed a lawyer named Jagdish Tyagi in Jolly LLB. The film, which was released in 2013, was both critically and commercially successful.
Arshad Warsi began his career as Mahesh Bhatt’s assistant director in Kaash (1987). Warsi choreographed the title song for Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (1993) before making his acting debut in Amitabh Bachchan’s Tere Mere Sapne (1996).
