Arshad Warsi has proved his histrionics as an actor par excellence by excelling not just in comedy (GOLMAAL, DHAMAAL etc.) but has also done sober roles too. Remember SEHAR, JOLLY LLB etc. He has even done a negative role in ZILLA GHAZIABAD. Thus he is a competent actor however despite being acknowledged as a good actor Arshad confesses that he has audition fear!

In an interview he admitted, ”Never in my life I have given audition. I get goose bumps on been asked for audition.” He adds, ”Luckily, when I was selected for my debut film TERE MERE SAPNE, the director Joy Augustine was impressed by dancing skills and it was he who offered me the role, I did not approach him. Joy was confident of my ability. Even Bachchan Sahab (TERE MERE SAPNE was produced by Amitabh Bachchan’s ABCL production house) was excited by my photographers and had given his approval hence there was no need for an audition.”
