Only Sanju, Salman were secure enough to let me shine: Arshad Warsi

In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, Arshad Warsi revealed the difficulties he faced in the industry, which even hampered his ability to perform at his full potential. The actor claimed that only a few actors were secure enough to let him perform at his full capacity, as a supporting character.

Warsi cited Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan as the lead actors who were secure enough to let him perform freely. "In fact, one of the reasons I originally did Munna Bhai MBBS was because of Sanju. He's such a secure actor that I knew he'd let me do my own thing and shine," said Warsi, while talking about his experience.

Warsi was initially skeptical about his iconic role as Circuit, thinking he will be sidelined as a character, who is just another server to a goon. But he convinced Hirani and producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra to at least let him "enjoy the failure" and allow him to play Circuit his own way. He's glad that a seasoned actor like Makarand Deshpande turned down that role, as it paved the way for his Bollywood breakthrough.
