Arshad Warsi is another actor getting ready to to go into producing. I guess that’s a sure-fire way that you always have a job. So is a production house for actors the same as a private practice for doctors? Your own hours, your own dates, more effort equals more money.

Anyways, he’s been having a hard time finding an actress to play the leading lady in his movie and has only recently convinced Diya Mirza to commit. The reason for the delay was the belief that Arshad wasn’t leading man material but only seemed to fit into quirky sidekick roles, like Salaam Namaste, Vaah! Life ho toh Aisi, and the Munnabhai movies. Wow, he’s done a lot of those roles.

So Diya, a kinda co-star from Lage Raho Munnabhai, has filled in because she likes her role of a sweet girl in the movie, which is entitled I Believe in Angels…for now.

“First of all I’ve always enjoyed Arshad’s performances and it’s an honour to be in a film to be produced by him. Then when I heard the script I simply fell in love with my role and and the script. Every character is so beautifully written I’m sure Arshad’s first production is going to turn out to be very special.”

“I’ve that image. And I suit it. Though I’m not bound by the sweet image I don’t mind being perceived as ideal for angelic roles at a time when every second girl enjoys playing the wicked one.”

Can’t say I disagree with her.
