MUMBAI — Actor Arshad Warsi, who is popular for playing Circuit in “Munnabhai” series, said that he never played that character outside the franchise as he didn't want to disrespect it, ndtv.com reported. Warsi said that he received many advertisement offers that wanted him to don the role of Circuit, but he never took anything up. “I never played that character again. Playing it again and again will make it lose it's sanctity... (if) I will play it (outside) once I know for sure that Munnabhai will never be made again. I was asked in many ads to play it, but I refused,” he said. Warsi has managed to create a good balance between commercial and parallel cinema with films like Munnabhai, Ishqiya, Hulchul and Sehar. Arshad feels humor is a safe bet today and generally works with the masses. “If you really look at me, eight out of ten films I have done is comedy. Humor is the safest bet. Not only me, Akshay (Kumar), Salman, everyone is doing comedy. You can't help it. The producer wants his money back and comedy is something which people go and see,” said Warsi who is a great admirer of Akshay Kumar's style of comedy. “Ask me who I think is really good at comedy, it is Akshay Kumar. He has his own niche and makes me laugh. It is fun, Akshay is fabulous,” he said. – SG
