Although he prefers to approach a role intellectually, Arshad Warsi plan to take a different route for his next, Banda Singh. Trying his hand at method acting, the actor will head to a village in Punjab to live the life of a farmer, in a bid to understand his character. The seven-day experiment will commence this week, only a month after Warsi wrapped up the second season of the web series, Asur.
Warsi tells mid-day that he prefers to have control over his approach instead of depend on a workshop. “I will start shooting for Banda Singh soon over a 50-day start-to-finish schedule. I loved the script. Workshops are a waste of time. I have never played the role of a farmer before, and the world of this protagonist is a new one for me. The look is rustic. I sport a beard, and because it is set in the ’80s, I am also trying to grow my hair. I want to live where farmers do, and familiarise myself with how they work on the field, including how they farm, plough, hitch the cows, and dig the lands. I also want to know how they live, and what they eat. I am a full-on city-boy, so I want to change my lifestyle there.” However, should discussions to feature in an upcoming short film in the interim materialise, Warsi says he may have to reconsider his plan.
