Arshad Warsi is one Bollywood actor who knows how to play funny and serious characters really, really well. 

No one can deny that Arshad's comic timing is brilliant which is the reason we love watching so many of his movies including Rohit Shetty's Golmaal series.

Now, while Arshad has had his fair share of ups and downs in his Bollywood career, he's done a lot of great movies. Not just that, the actor has even done web series with Asur being one the critically rated TV shows.

Talking about some of his iconic roles, we can't take out his character of Circuit from Munnabhai MBBS that starred Sanjay Dutt.

He played the character so well that we remember the movie for him as much as we do for Sanju baba! However, Arshad recently shared his thoughts on the role and even went to the extent of calling it 'stupid'. 

Well, here is what he said. “I did Munna Bhai because it was Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), otherwise even Raju (filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani) knows that it is a stupid role. It really is on paper, it was nothing. Even Makarand Deshpande had said no to Circuit!” he said while speaking to the Indian Express. 

Arshad's portrayal of Sarkeshwar "Circuit" Sharma in the 2003 film got him a lot of popularity with fans with the actor even winning a Filmfare Awards for Best Supporting Actor in Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006). 

The actor also revealed what are the factors he considers while taking up movie projects.  

“I listen to any script purely as an audience member. Would I want to see what I am doing? It can be any genre, it could be anything, but it should be something the audience would like to watch. After listening to the story, it is your gut feeling that tells you if you want to do that film or not.” 

Arshad will now be seen alongside Akshay Kumar, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Kriti Sanon in Bachchhan Pandey which is set to release on March 18 on Holi.
