Arshad plays a bad actor!

Talented Arshad Warsi will be seen playing a terrible actor in a film to be produced by Anil Kapoor.

The film, titled Shortcut, will be remake of a Malayalam movie. It will have Akshaye Khanna playing a film director and Arshad Warsi playing an ambitious, shrewd and talentless actor who wants to be a superstar. The movie will be an out-and-out comedy about the actor and director’s journey from anonymity to superstardom. Anees Bazmee will direct the film.

According to Anil Kapoor, it takes acting talent to play a poor actor in front of the camera. And Arshad fits the role perfectly. Arshad himself is very excited about the film. He is already on very friendly terms with Akshaye Khanna (they worked together in Priyadarshan’s Hulchul).

On a different front, Arshad has been training in football for Vivek Agnihotri’s film Goal, which has him working with John Abraham once again after Kabul Express.
