Arshad Warsi has won over audiences once again, this time with his short but striking role as Ghafoor in Aryan Khan’s debut web series The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Despite limited screen time, his performance has become one of the highlights of the show, and the actor credits the series’ success to Aryan Khan’s sharp direction and storytelling instincts.
In a recent interview, Arshad spoke warmly about Aryan, calling him a “very special kid” with an extraordinary sense of filmmaking. He shared that Aryan visualizes every frame before it is shot. “Aryan has a movie playing in his head. I did a small part in the series because I like him and Shah Rukh. But the outcome was huge,” Arshad said, adding that Aryan is the kind of director whose vision you simply follow.
Arshad further explained that nothing about Ghafoor’s performance was improvised. “Everything was scripted and designed by Aryan. The success of my character is completely because of his vision,” he said.
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, The Ba***ds of Bollywood explores the darker, satirical side of fame and ambition in the Hindi film industry. The series stars Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, and Bobby Deol, with special cameos from Ranveer Singh, Rajkummar Rao, and Sara Ali Khan.
