on An Encounter with Shortkut Starcast. Watch Arshad Warsi and Akshay Khanna harass
the petite Amrita Rao and be a part of all the jokes and gossip circulating about
the movie. Sharing
their thoughts with Omar Qureshi on why they limit themselves to mostly comedy
specific roles, the handsome Akshay Khanna said, “Acting is my passion. It
is what I do and love to do. So be it comedy, action or anything…I love doing
everything when it comes to acting”. Added Arshad Warsi in jest, “Every
8 / 10 movies are comedy. Every second movie is made comedy by force, so you are
bound to do comedy, what to do? But I enjoyed it…its fine” In
her entire career in the Bollywood film industry, Amrita Rao will for the first
time be shedding her inhibition and playing a glamorous role of an actress in
the movie. Akshay Khanna in an attempt to compliment Amrita states, “She
has always played the girl next door but Amrita is looking hot in the movie, she
enjoyed playing the role of a glamour girl. She has become Amrita “Wow”
and not Rao now.” To this statement, Amrita reacted pleasantly saying, “I
am a contemporary girl, I have lived in the city long enough to develop my own
style”. Akshay
Khanna admits that he is not a snob and when asked about his image in the industry,
his co-star Arshad Warsi defends him and explains the reason behind the misconceptions.
