It was fun working with Arshad in ‘Sunday’: Irrfan

Irrfan Khan, who’s currently shooting for English director Danny Boyle’s much-talked-about “Slumdog Millionaire” in Mumbai, says he enjoyed working with Arshad Warsi in “Sunday”.
This was his second film with Arshad and both shared great chemistry on screen.
“‘Sunday’ was fun though I can’t say the same about the first film that we did together. I didn’t enjoy doing ‘Chocolate’. Till the end we weren’t told what the story was and the plot kept getting changed all the time,” Irrfan told IANS.
“On the other hand, during ‘Sunday’, director Rohit Shetty was very rigid about going by the plot. But Arshad and I were constantly given a chance to improvise. We had loads of fun because I like working with competent actors. And Arshad is outstanding. In fact, Arshad and I have a third film ‘Krazzy 4′ lined up.”
Irrfan is looking forward to more films with Arshad.
Talking about his third international project, he said: “In Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ I’m the narrator, catalyst and obstacle to the protagonist’s progression. I play a cop. But I’ve no name. I’ll be billed ‘The Cop’ in the film which releases at the end of the year.”

Try Shetty’s ‘Sunday’ for a hearty laugh and ‘paisa vasool’

Although the film hasn’t got a good review, a balanced mix of mystery, comedy and action makes Rohit Shetty’s “Sunday” ‘paisa vasool’ (money’s worth). Starring Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Irrfan Khan and Ayesha Takia it is a thoroughly enjoyable film.
“On the first day, two industry guys have tried to ruin my film by spreading negative rumours, but the best thing is that general audience is appreciating it and word of mouth will help my movie,” Shetty told IANS.
“It happened with my ‘Golmaal - Fun Unlimited’ also. So, I’m not bothered. I am confident that the film will work. Naysayers are saying that the first day collection was only 25 percent, but the fact is that it was 70 percent. And the Republic Day holiday has helped it too,” added Shetty.
“Sunday” is a fast-paced murder mystery movie with a heavy dose of comedy thrown in. Irrfan and Arsahd’s chemistry is mind blowing. Irrfan as a theatre actor and Arshad as the taxi driver gave the most hilarious performances. Shetty maintains the pace throughout the movie without letting it drag.
