Arshad Warsi On Playing Circuit To Munna Bhai: "It Was A Risk That I Took"

"It was my destiny that I had Raju with me as a director and Sanju as my co actor," said Arshad Warsi

Circuit played by Arshad Warsi is undoubtedly one of the most loved characters of Bollywood. However, when the actor was asked if playing Circuit was a turning point in his life on the show Long Drive WithMr Faisu, Arshad Warsi said "It could have taken a wrong turn also." Elaborating, the Jolly LLB star said, "Yes. But it could have taken a wrong turn also. Tum dekho, woh role kya tha? Villain ke peeche chaar paanch lukhhe khade hote hai na, un mese mai ek tha. (You see, what was that role?  I was among the 4-5 guys who roam around with the vilain) You tell me how many actors like those four guys do you remember?”

He continued, “It was a risk that I took. It was my destiny that I had Raju with me as a director and Sanju as my co actor. Vinod Chopra had clearly told me that I would be one of the four goons with slightly extra lines. He was very honest. I knew that Sanju was a very secure actor. He was never insecure and Raju had given me that freedom.”

Arshad Warsi also opened up about his bond with Sanjay Dutt. He said, “He is a great person. Very sweet. I find him very strong. He has gone through a lot of things. He is a very loving person. I get random messages from him. He sends ‘Bro, I miss you' or he calls and says, ‘Bro I am in Africa, do you want anything?'”
