Actor Arshad Warsi says he hears that he is “underutilised” constantly, and people aren’t wrong to believe that.

Warsi started his film journey as an assistant director to filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt in his 1987 drama Kaash, moved to choreographing for the title track of Roop Ki Raani Choron Ka Raja and finally made his acting debut with the 1996 drama Tere Mere Sapne. Warsi established himself as an actor to watch out for with acclaimmed films like Seher but found stardom with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani’s 2003 blockbuster Munna Bhai MBBS.

“I know I can do much more, I know I could have done much more. All actors feel that but yes, I think I am quite under used. I could have done many, many projects. There are many projects that I was supposed to do, but last minute it went to other people. I realised they shouldn’t have done that, because I would have done a far better job. So yes, I am underrated and underused,” the actor added.
Arshad Warsi is currently seen on the second season of his show Asur. Helmed by Oni Sen, Asur 2 also stars Barun Sobti, Ridhi Dogra, Anupriya Goenka, Amey Wagh, Meiyang Chang and Gaurav Arora.
