Arshad Warsi perhaps for the first time is experimenting with his looks for any film. For Vishal Bharadwaj’s forthcoming production, Ishqiyan being directed by Abhishek Chaubey Arshad shall be seen in a role that he has never attempted before. Our unit sources reveal that since he plays a guy off the streets he has been made to look suitably dark. So therefore whenever Arshad arrives on the film’s sets every morning, hours are spent painting Arshad Warsi’s torso black. He may not be in his best looking appearance in this film, but neither was Saif Ali Khan as Langda Tyagi in Vishal Bharadwaj’s Omkara and yet he went on to win accolades and awards for his role in the film. Arshad is perhaps aiming for the same. The film co-stars him with Vidya Balan and Naseeruddin Shah.

Sources also further reveal that, “Arshad’s stunning performance in the film will be a surprise package for his audience and his chemistry with co-star Vidya is already being talked about. Reportedly both share a few intimate scenes in the film which are suppose to be aesthetically shot. Vidya plays a con-woman in the film who out masters the uncle nephew duo of Naseer and Arshad in the film. The film is set for a release late 2009.
