News India Live, Digital Desk: We often see that when two actors are doing great comedy on screen, we feel that they will have a great friendship in real life too. You must remember the film ‘Hulchal’? That jugalbandi of Akshay Khanna and Arshad Warsi, those funny dialogues and that acting of Lucky which makes us laugh even today. But would you believe that shooting this film was a very bad experience for Arshad Warsi?
Yes, it may sound a bit strange because ‘Hulchal’ has become a ‘cult classic’, but Arshad Warsi has recently revealed that he did not enjoy working on the sets of this film at all.
There was ‘pin-drop’ silence on the set
Arshad Warsi is known for his cheerfulness. He likes to laugh, joke and mingle with people on the set. But the atmosphere on the set of ‘Hulchal’ was completely opposite. Arshad told that people there used to just do their work and then silently go to their corner. No one talked to anyone. Arshad felt as if he was not working in a creative environment but was just doing a ‘job’ like a machine.
Lack of coordination with Akshay Khanna?
Akshay Khanna is a seasoned actor of Bollywood, but he is considered a very reserved person. Pointing towards this, Arshad said that Akshay was very professional, but that atmosphere of ‘bromance’ or conversation could never be created between them which is expected on the set of a comedy film. When there is no laughter among fellow artists, it becomes difficult for an artist like Arshad to perform.
The style of direction was also heavy.
Priyadarshan sir is known for shooting his films very fast. Arshad says that the work was going on very mechanically. One scene was shot and immediately the next was prepared – there was no time to talk or relax. For Arshad Warsi, working on any project means peace and a connection with the team. When he was missing, the shooting time became a burden for them.
Superhit for fans, but bitter memories
Even though ‘Hulchal’ is one of our favorite films today, its memories are somewhat hazy in Arshad Warsi’s heart. He says that the result of the work turned out to be good, it is a matter of happiness, but as an actor that journey could not make him happy.
Often this is the truth behind the glamour. The films which give us solace on screen, it is possible that the artists may have suffered a lot of mental loneliness while making them. This confession of Arshad Warsi teaches us how important ‘human connection’ is in any work.
