Unassuming and friendly, the actor seems a great person to hang with. And that's probably what director Samar Khan did while filming his first film, Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaye, with the Munnabhai MBBS star.
The duo seemed at ease with each other, cracking jokes and poking fun at each other when this correspondent met Warsi for an interview.
The Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaye contest!
“Let me first tell you that Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaye has got nothing to do with The Terminal,” Warsi clarifies before you can ask the first question.
The story of Kuchh Meetha unravels in an airport, when passengers, including Mahima Chaudhary, get stranded due to a delayed flight. The film releases on April 15.
Warsi spoke to Ronjita Kulkarni about Kuchh Meetha, and life after Munnabhai.
What is Kuchh Meetha about?
The story is about a bunch of passengers whose flight is delayed and they are forced to sit and talk to a person that they otherwise would not want to. For example, a husband and wife having problems. They could have solved their problems by discussing them but never did it. Now, they are stuck with each other in a situation, and just start talking.
There are five different stories.
I play an airport manager. I wasn't able to tell my girl (Mahima) how much I love her. Circumstances prevented me from doing so. She gets married to someone else, and settles down in London. So I live in pain and drown my sorrows in alcohol. The main reason I work in an airport is that she comes to India once a year to meet her in-laws, and I hope to see her then.
This is the time when she comes, and the flight is delayed so I manage to tell her what I feel.
I'm connected to everyone in the film because I'm not a passenger, so their being there is my responsibility.
There were rumours that you would come drunk on the sets to stay in character.

The Best Places to Travel in September
