Arshad Warsi: I switch to serious roles after getting fed up with comedies

Actor Arshad Warsi, known for his impeccable comic timing on screen, will take on a serious role with the upcoming socio-political action-drama Bandaa Singh Chaudhary. The film is helmed by Abhishek Saxena (Phullu (2017)) and produced by Arbaaz Khan. Set in 1975, the trailer of the film shows Bandaa (Arshad), as a courageous man who falls in love with the character played by Meher Vij and how he is threatened by members of a community to leave his house. Bandaa stands firmly against the threats and picks up arms in a bid to save his family. Arshad says that he was really moved when he heard the story. “It is really painful when someone forces you to leave your home and you have to go to a new place where you don’t know anyone. It is horrible,” he says.
