Arshad Warsi plays the second lead in Vivek Agnihotri’s “Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal” but his absence from the film’s promotional campaign built up the rumour that the actor is upset because his co-star John Abraham has got a meatier part.
However, Arshad denies all this and explains, “I was in bed for two weeks. I had terrible allergy attack. My face was completely swollen. It started with a viral fever. But after two days I started getting itchy and swollen. I had kept time aside for the ‘Goal’ promo. Thank god I wasn’t the only actor in the project. That would’ve been disastrous.”
“I knew ‘Goal’ was John’s film, and I knew what I had to do with my character. I was given a fair deal all the way to the promotion and publicity. It’s like ‘Om Shanti Om’. It is Shah Rukh’s film. Arjun Rampal couldn’t be in all the publicity. Likewise ‘Goal’ is John’s film,” adds the humble actor.
Arshad is turning producer with the movie in which he will play the lead. He is also the scriptwriter for the movie which will be directed by Raja Sen. Naseeruddin Shah and Konkona Sen Sharma are the other two actors Arshad wants in his first production.
