The renowned actor Arshad Warsi, in one of his recent interviews, opened up about the third part of the much-awaited comedy-drama âWelcome 3.' The actor stated that the film is in the works and that Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, and Paresh Rawal will also play pivotal parts in the movie. The actor also discussed two of his much-loved franchise films, 'Jolly LLB' and 'Munna Bhai.'
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Arshad Warsi, while discussing the much-anticipated sequel to 'Welcome.' shared, "The scale of 'Welcome 3': the cost, the climax, is unreal. It is an insanely larger-than-life theatrical film which I will be a part of. It has me, Akshay Kumar, Sanju (Sanjay Dutt), Paresh Rawal and lots of other people."
Later, in the same interview, while discussing his absence from the big screen, the actor stated how he values job satisfaction over financial benefits. He revealed, "The whole scenario has changed in cinema. Now all the movies releasing in theatres are superhero films. They are huge, larger than life, it's bizarre. I am seeing myself that way. To do a small bit in these big films, I don't fancy that. For me, job satisfaction is most important. These are films which will pay me tonnes of money. The ones I have got offered, I didn't fancy very much. The one I am doing is Welcome 3."
Despite his doubts about 'Munna Bhai 3', Arshad Warsi revealed information about another famous franchise film, 'Jolly LLB 3'. Arshad stated, "We start shooting in January. It is one of those films that tell you the truth of how things run in the world, good versus bad."
