Overview
- Warsi says Neeraj Vohra pitched the part as akin to Akshay Kumar’s role in Hera Pheri, which led him to sign the film.
- He recalls discovering on set that his character was not an equal friend to the leads, describing the change as a shock.
- He cites wardrobe confusion, including a knee-length, three-quarter-sleeve shirt that felt like a nightgown, and says he wore his own clothes for much of the shoot.
- Warsi maintains he does not blame director Priyadarshan, asserting the director was likely unaware of the changes that upset him.
- Reports note Hulchul released in 2004 as a Priyadarshan remake with an ensemble cast, and highlight Warsi’s 2026 projects King and Welcome To The Jungle.
