Arshad wants to dance again

He danced his way into Bollywood with Aankh Maare in his debut, Tere Mere Sapne. But Arshad Warsi hasn���t got to shake a leg in a film since then.
���I love to dance and know that I dance well. In fact, I was the first Indian to represent the country at the World Dance Competition, in which I came fourth. But what can I do? My directors don���t let me dance,��� he sighs.
Still, dancing will always be a part of him, says Arshad.And that���s what brought him to Bangalore recently. ���I���ve come down to select dancers for the Dance Premier League. Since dance is my passion, I thought why not live it through this show?��� says Arshad. But he won���t be around to cheer the competing teams. ���Ishqiya is ready for release and I have to get back to my home production, Kaun Bola?, besides other upcoming projects,��� he says.
After being in the making for one-and-a-half years, Arshad���s maiden production, Kaun Bola? is finally nearing completion. ���I���ll release it after Vishal Bhardwaj���s Ishqiya, probably in January. Ishqiya got pushed because of Kaminey���s delay, so I had to postpone Kaun Bola?,��� explains Arshad. When asked how different Ishqiya is from Kaminey, Arshad says, ���They���re different films with the same feel and sensibilities. It���ll be Vishal���s style and genre. I like the texture, characterisation, the thrill and realism that Ishqiya boasts of.���
After a string of multi-starrers and comedies, Arshad will next be seen in leads and non-comic roles. ���Even multi-starrers are fine as long as the production house and the director are good. As far as comedy is concerned, I know I can carry off anything. I can play any character except a woman,��� smiles Arshad.
With such a tight schedule, how does he find time for his family? ���Usually, I shoot for 4-5 films at a time, take a long break and then start all over again. This way, I get to spend a lot of time with them. Even now, I���m on a holiday and this is my last month of luxury. Next, I���m off to South Africa for a shoot, then London,��� says Arshad.
And all is well between him and wife Maria, he maintains: ���The rumours are a result of people���s perception. I���m glad that because of this our relationship has grown stronger.���
