Munna Bhai MBBS: Arshad Warsi reveals he played only because Sanjay Dutt was cast in the lead

Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi was recently seen in the web series Asur, which came out in 2020. The actor will next be seen in Bachchan Pandey, which will also mark his collaboration with Akshay Kumar after 20 years. Throughout his career, Warsi has given us some memorable performances. One of them happens to be Circuit, the hilarious but loyal companion to Munna Bhai, played by Sanjay Dutt, in two films Munna Bhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munna Bhai.

However, Arshad does not like the character he plays in the Rajkumar Hirani directorial. Speaking to The Indian Express, Warsi said, “I did Munna Bhai because it was Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), otherwise even Raju (filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani) knows it’s a stupid role. It’s actually on paper. But it was nothing.Even Makrand Deshpande said no to the circuit.

Warsi said when he plays a role, it is important for him to know the actor in the lead. This explains why Warsi said yes to Circuit. Talking about things other than the lead role, the 53-year-old actor said that he, as a member of the audience, listens to any script and questions whether he wants to see what he is doing. “It can be any genre, it can be anything, but it should be something that the audience wants to see. After hearing the story, it’s your gut feeling that tells you whether you want to do that film or not,” Warsi said.

Talking about his upcoming film with Akshay after Jaani Dushman, which released in 2002, Warsi said that his last collaboration with the actor was a “different cinema” and “another story”. Warsi said that he would like to think that he has not worked with Akshay before and this is his first time.

Bachchan Pandey also stars Kriti Sanon and Jacqueline Fernandez in pivotal roles. The film will release this Friday.
