Arshad Warsi is one actor who has since day one tried to cement his position as a male lead but his successful movies are either multi starrers of the movies see him as a second fiddle. With the movie Ishqiyan, he will once again try to prove his prowess as a male lead. He is looking for a change of luck with this one.

Vishal Bharadwaj who is producing the movie gave Saif Ali Khan a makeover in Omkara that worked wonders for his career. Arshad is hoping that this movie will do something similar for him. Abhishek Chaubey who is directing the movie is quite confident the way movie has shaped up. This will actually be the first time that Arshad will be experimenting with his looks.

The skin tone for Arshad is very dark so every morning it takes him a lot of time for makeup in getting the look right. In the movie, he will be sharing the screen space with Vidya Balan and Naseeruddin Shah. In the movie Vidya plays a con woman from UP and the actress has worked hard on getting the accent right. Naseeruddin will play the uncle of Arshad who are fooled by Vidya in the movie.

There are some reports doing the rounds of some steamy hot scenes between Vidya and Arshad. The scenes have been shot so that they do not look vulgar or obscene. Besides this Arshad is also having Shortkut - The Con Is On and Yahoo that will be releasing this year. He will be hoping that all these movies do good business and the audiences appreciate his performances. This might very well be his last chance to display his talent as a lead man in a movie.
