‘Ishqiya 2′ will be cult: Arshad Warsi (Movie Snippets)
January 5th, 2012 - 3:51 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Jan 5 (IANS) Arshad Warsi, whose performance in “Ishqiya” won him critical acclaim, says the movie’s sequel is going to be a cult film.
“Spent New Year’s (eve) chatting with Vishal Bhardwaj and Abhishek Chaubey, looks like ISHQIYA 2 is gonna be a cult movie… different in every sense,” Arshad posted on his Twitter page.
He is set to play a rustic guy once again. In the first instalment of “Ishqiya”, which bagged four national awards, Arshad essayed Babban, a hot-blooded, lustful man, who scoffs at the idea of true romantic love.
The movie released in 2010, and also featured Vidya Balan and Naseeruddin Shah in key roles.

100 days to Rs.100 crore - SRK traces Bollywood’s number game!
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose mega-budget production “RA.One” has earned more than Rs.100 crore, recalls the time when 100 days in the theatre was victory enough for film producers.
“Was discussing with my DDLJ (’Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’) friend how we wished for a 100 days for our film… rather than Rs.100 crore. Seems our days are truly numbered now!!” tweeted Shah Rukh.
The actor’s last release “Don 2: The King Is Back” is also on its way to register earnings over the Rs.100 crore-mark.
After a relaxed holiday in Dubai with his family and friends, it seems Shah Rukh is now getting back into work mode.
“The excitement of working on a new script covers up the stress of daily chores. I think I was made to entertain… not be entertained,” he added.
