Arshad Warsi opens up about doing something different with ‘Durgamati’, says it keeps the actor alive in him

Arshad Warsi recently opened up about doing something different from comedy in ‘Durgamati’. According to him, it keeps the actor in him alive.

Talking to a news portal, he reportedly said that he enjoys doing good films and that the genre doesn't matter to him. According to him, comedies are made more than other genres purely for business reasons, and he has done a lot of them. With Durgamati, he stated that it felt good to get out of the comic space to do something different and keep the actor in him alive.



Spilling the beans on if he approaches a serious role differently from a gag-a-minute outing, the actor added that when he goes to the set, he likes to crack jokes and have fun, regardless of whether the film is a comedy or

horror

. It's only when the camera starts rolling that he does what his take requires. Arshad also added that with this film, he was doing something that he doesn’t get to do often. For him, it was not the stereotypical role again.

‘Durgamati’ also starred Bhumi Pednekar and Karan Kapadia in lead roles. The film received mixed reviews from the audience and the critic alike. The film is the official Hindi remake of the Telugu movie, ‘Bhagamathie’ starring Anushka Shetty in the lead role.
