Arshad is underutilised in Bollywood: Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan, who will be seen sharing the same frame with actor Arshad Warsi in upcoming film 'Ishqiya', says her co-star hasn't got his due in Bollywood and is underutilised as an actor.

'Arshad is a brilliant actor. He is very versatile. I feel he is underutilised in our cinema. I think he can be one of those European actors who can play any role with as much ease. He is wonderful and I share a great camaraderie with him. He is really yet to get his due,' the actress told IANS.

Set in eastern Uttar Pradesh, 'Ishqiya' is a tale of romance between individuals caught in a web of crime, suspense, passion and deceit. Directed by debutant Abhishek Chaubey, the film also stars Naseeruddin Shah in a pivotal role.
