Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi<\/a>, best known for his impeccable comic timing, has entertained audiences with hit films such as Golmaal, Munna Bhai MBBS, Dhamaal and many more. In a recent conversation<\/a> with The Lallantop, the actor opened up about one film he considers an exception in his otherwise fulfilling career, Hulchul.<\/p>\n

\"Arshad Arshad Warsi shared about his bad experience on Hulchul set. Arshad Warsi revealed he was promised Akshay Kumar’s Hera Pheri-like role in Hulchul<\/p>\n

Arshad revealed that while he generally does not crib about his work, Hulchul turned out to be a \u201cbad experience\u201d. He even said that he was, in a way, \u201ctricked\u201d into doing the film. Arshad said, \u201cHulchul was a problem. Humare Neeraj Vohra sahab the, I was busy doing films, and he said, ‘Arshad, ek film hai aur Priyadarshan<\/a> director hai. I said wow, done, what am I doing in it?. He said tune Hera Pheri<\/a> dekhi hai? Usmein jo Akshay Kumar ka role hai vohi same role hai.’ I was like done, it’s a damn good role (Neeraj Vohra saab was there. I was busy doing films when he said, \u201cArshad, there\u2019s a film and Priyadarshan is the director.\u201d I said, \u201cWow, done. What am I doing in it?\u201d He said, \u201cHave you seen Hera Pheri? It\u2019s the same role that Akshay Kumar played in that film.\u201d I was like, \u201cDone, it\u2019s a damn good role).”<\/p>\n

However, things changed once he reached the sets. Explaining what went wrong, Arshad added, \u201cBut in that film I realised there is a huge difference between ‘aap dono iss film main dost hain aur aap iss film mein inke dost hain (You both are friends in this film, and you are their friend in the film)’. We reached the set aur aisa mujhe dhakka laga (I got a shock), and I don’t think Priyadarshan knew about it. It’s not his fault. I was given a shirt which was till my knee length and three-fourths sleeves. Samanjh nahi aaraha tha nighty hai yaa shirt. I was like this is a mess (I couldn\u2019t understand whether it was a nightgown or a shirt). But since I had given a commitment, I did the film. I wore my own clothes in half of the picture. So that was a bad experience.”<\/p>\n
