Rajkumar Hirani’s Munna Bhai MBBS, starring Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi among others, is one of the most memorable Bollywood films. In the movie, Arshad played the role of Circuit, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. However, Arshad has now revealed that he only got lucky because Hirani gave him freedom. The actor said that Vidhu Vinod Chopra had clearly explained to him how Circuit was just one of the goons who walked behind Sanjay.

On the show Long Drive with Mr Faisu, when asked if the character Circuit was a turning point in his career, Arshad said, “Yes. But it could have taken a wrong turn also. Tum dekho, woh role kya tha? Villain ke peeche chaar paanch lukhhe khade hote hai na, un mese mai ek tha. You tell me how many actors like those four guys do you remember?”

He continued, “It was a risk that I took. It was my destiny that I had Raju with me as a director and Sanju as my co actor. Vinod Chopra had clearly told me that I would be one of the four goons with slightly extra lines. He was very honest. I knew that Sanju was a very secure actor. He was never insecure and Raju had given me that freedom.”

Arshad Warsi also opened up about his bond with Sanjay Dutt. He said, “He is a great person. Very sweet. I find him very strong. He has gone through a lot of things. He is a very loving person. I get random messages from him. He sends ‘Bro, I miss you’ or he calls and says, ‘Bro I am in Africa, do you want anything?’”
