ACTOR Arshad Warsi, known for his impeccable comic timing on screen, will take on a serious role with the upcoming socio-political action-drama Bandaa Singh Chaudhary. The film is helmed by Abhishek Saxena, known for Phullu (2017), and produced by Arbaaz Khan. Set in 1975, the trailer of the film shows Bandaa (Arshad) as a courageous man who falls in love with the character played by Meher Vij and how he is threatened by members of a community to leave his house.
Bandaa stands firmly against the threats and picks up arms in order to save his family. Arshad says that he was really moved when he heard the story.
"It is really painful when someone forces you to leave your home and you have to go to a new place where you don't know anyone," he says.
Bandaa Singh Chaudhary explores a rift between two communities and how certain extreme forces threaten to destroy peace. On whether the film reflects the rise in polarising conflicts in recent times, Arshad says that the story focuses on a personal and relatable issue.
