'I understood what kind of director he is': Arshad Warsi on working with Aryan Khan in Ba***ds of Bollywood

Arshad Warsi recently opened up about why he decided to be a part of Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan's debut directorial. The actor also shared an interesting anecdote involving the Khan lad. Talking to Raj Shamani on his podcast, Arshad said, "Aryan called me to do The Ba***ds of Bollywood. I didn't even think it. He wanted me to do something, barely a day or 2 days' job. I said, ‘I'm done, I'm doing it."Elaborating further, he added, "Mujhe kuch sunne ki zaroorat nahi hai mujhe bas batado mujhe karna kya hai. (I don't need to listen to anything, just tell me what I need to do). He's like, ‘Sir, ek gangster ka role hai, who bails out the hero every time.' I said, ‘Done… I'm doing it!"The actor also shared an interesting story from the sets of the series. "When I went for the shoot, I asked him a very simple question. I said ki, ‘Jo boat aa rahi hai jisme 4 mushkande blacks hai aur yeh kaha se aa rahi hai?' (Where is this boat, carrying 4 muscular black men, coming from?) He's like, ‘Sir yeh Somalia se aa rahi hogi.' (Sir, it might be coming from Somalia). Jaise maine suna yeh choti se boat 4 kaalon ke saath Somalia se aa rahi hai, mai samajh gaya yeh director kaisa hai. Maine kaha, done. (As soon as I heard that this small boat with four men was coming from Somalia, I understood what kind of director he is. I said, ‘Done.)," he shared."So what I'm trying to say is that when you look at it as an actor, woh boat kahan se aa rahi hai (where the boat is coming from) is absolutely irrelevant. These are the directors who, when you know the story thoroughly, you're both on the same page," he concluded. Ba***ds of Bollywood starred Lakshya, Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Sahher Bambba and others received positive reviews from the audience and the critics alike.
