Writer-director Neeraj Vora's "Short Kut - The Con Is On" might not have struck the best chord with critics and audiences, but he is all praise for Arshad Warsi's acting skills.

"Arshad is a fantastic improviser...he doesn't waste a situation and comes out instantly with an apt performance to make up for anything gone wrong on the sets, " Vora told.

"I know that because I'm also an improviser and so we gel very well, " he added.

Also starring Akshaye Khanna and Amrita Rao, the film was panned by the critics.
