Arshad Warsi: Shortkut to success

Bollywood actor talks about his latest movie Shortkut releasing in the UAE on Thursday

Has anyone taken credit for your work and passed it off as theirs?

No, no not at all… (After a long pause) Oh my God! What am I saying!!! Yes, absolutely this has happened to me. I wish I could name the people but it might turn into a huge scandal. So I will not name them.

Is it true Akshaye refused to promote the movie because of some differences with you?

That's not true. Akshaye and I have no problems.

You've renamed your co-star Amrita Rao as Amrita ‘Wow'.

Yes. She's transformed from the girl-next-door to a scorching hottie.

Don't you ever get bored of doing comedy?

I get bored of bad work. But yes, I do want to do something different, something out of the box.

There are rumours suggesting you are having an affair with Dia Mirza who stars opposite you in Kaun Bola.

It was very upsetting. But when you're in showbiz, you have to learn to live with such nonsense.
