\"Arshad Arshad Warsi<\/a> has candidly admitted that he regrets being part of Rajkumar Kohli\u2019s 2002 film Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani. Despite featuring a massive star cast including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Sonu Nigam, Armaan Kohli, and Manisha Koirala, the fantasy-action film has often been regarded as one of Bollywood\u2019s most infamous cult misfires.Speaking to Raj Shamani, Arshad was asked if there were any films from his career that he wasn\u2019t proud of. He replied, \u201cMy movies are terrible; they usually offend everybody. I don\u2019t want to say all these things, but I have done some films which I am not proud of. One very famous film that is in that list is a film called Jaani Dushman.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRajkumar Kohli was one of the nicest people in the industry\u201d<\/p>\n

While Arshad admitted he didn\u2019t like the film, he was full of respect for its director. \u201cArmaan Kohli\u2019s father, Rajkumar Kohli, is one of the nicest people in the industry. When he called you for a film, most actors would say yes\u2014purely because of the kind of person he was,\u201d the actor shared.He went on to praise Kohli\u2019s professional ethics, saying, \u201cHe never gave you any trouble regarding money. If he called you and told you a schedule, he would never waver from it. Your fees would reach you before you even had to ask. That\u2019s why almost everybody has done a film with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arshad Warsi\u2019s Social Media Flooded with Hate Over Prabhas Comment<\/p>\n

\u201cI just needed the money\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor revealed a practical reason behind accepting the role \u2014 financial necessity. \u201cI was still new in the industry, so I wasn\u2019t aware of his reputation. I just needed the money. Maria and I were building a house, but after buying it we had no money left to actually build something. We were collecting money from wherever we could. The terrace of my home could be constructed because of Jaani Dushman,\u201d Arshad said with a laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him to kill me off first\u201d<\/p>\n

Arshad also recalled requesting the director to kill off his character early in the film. \u201cWhen he (Rajkumar) asked me to make it, I told him to kill me off first. He didn\u2019t agree with me, and on the other hand, Akshay Kumar wasn\u2019t ready to be killed off. He kept coming back and trying to fit himself into other characters,\u201d Arshad added humorously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arshad Warsi has candidly admitted that he regrets being part of Rajkumar Kohli\u2019s 2002 film Jaani Dushman: Ek…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107741,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[77524,7527,77520,77517,77522,77525,430,156,77523,77521,77519,111,139,69,77518],"class_list":["post-107740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-arshad","tag-arshad-warsi","tag-arshad-warsi-interview","tag-arshad-warsi-jaani-dushman-regret","tag-arshad-warsi-personal-life","tag-arshad-warsi-regrets-jaani-dushman","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-jaani-dushman","tag-jaani-dushman-cast","tag-jaani-dushman-ek-anokhi-kahani","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-rajkumar-kohli-film-industry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107740\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
