Actor Arshad Warsi, who will be seen in Ahmed Khan’s next film Welcome to the Jungle, has been a part of the Hindi film industry for over three decades. He has worked in films like Munna Bhai MBBS, Golmaal, Ishqiya and many others. Arshad recently spoke about the difference in the pay scale of actors in Bollywood, saying that some of them are overpaid and others are affected by it. The Golmaal actor expressed that overpaid stars should not get huge amounts.
Recently during a conversation with Samdish Bhatia on his YouTube channel, UNFILTERED by Samdish, Arshad Warsi was asked if he has any problem with the pay scale in the Hindi film industry.
Arshad said, “I feel that whatever we are getting, we should not be getting so much, that is the problem. I feel that the pay scale has become so high that it has created a line between A and B.”
He said, “There are some artistes who are making a lot of money, and others are having trouble compensating them.”
In the same interview, Arshad Warsi also shared his experience of being scolded by Jaya Bachchan over his airport look. The Munnabhai MBBS actor said that he was going to Hyderabad for the shooting of his debut film Tere Mere Sapne and boarded the flight in comfortable clothes.
Arshad, who started his career as a choreographer, recalled that the veteran actress had sent him a message and asked him to wear “appropriate attire” to the airport.
Apart from Welcome to the Jungle, Arshad Warsi also has Jolly LLB 3. It is the third installment of the Jolly LLB franchise. Arshad has also worked in web series like Asur and Modern Love: Mumbai. Asur 2, the second season of Asur, will be released in 2023.
