"I've been shooting action scenes for Rohit Shetty's Sunday hanging from a crane at a height of sixty feet with nothing below me. And I've a vertigo problem. Earlier Rohit put me up on a long rickety ladder...and I nearly passed out. It has been a very scary experience"
This is the first time Arshad is doing stunt sequences since his first film Tere Mere Sapne 12 years ago. "I had jumped down from a height of 30 feet straight down for a song with no buffer.I'm good at action. All the fighters on the sets tell me, 'Bhai action karo. Bahut achcha karte ho.'
I never connect my fist with their face and it looks like I've driven a wild punch. I've always been sporty. In school I used to excel at games. When I came into movies I pined to do the daredevilry. But I was typecast in comedy."
But now things are about to change. "I love to flip, roll and somersault for the camera. Nobody except Rohit Shetty thought of utilizing that. Now in Sunday people will see me as an action hero. In fact he put in an action sequence just for me."
Rohit Shetty is so impressed by Arshad's efforts as a blast action hero that he has decided to cast Ajay Devgan and Arshad in a full-on actioner. "On the lines of Tango & Cash. I'm really looking forward to it."
