Arshad Warsi admitted he **regrets doing the 2002 film "Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani"**, revealing that he took the project mainly to finance **building his home**. He humorously recalled asking the film's director Rajkumar Kohli to kill his character off first, saying, "Sir, please kill me off first," to which the director replied that his character would die after two others. Despite the film's failure, Warsi called it a "cult movie" and remembered laughing even during his death scene because of its over-the-top nature. He also praised co-star Akshay Kumar's enthusiasm, who was willing to play every role in the film, coming back as a reincarnation of every character who died, making the film chaotic and memorable[1][2][3][4]. "Jaani Dushman," directed by Rajkumar Kohli, was a star-studded fantasy action thriller that was widely panned for its illogical plot, over-the-top effects, and miscasting, eventually becoming a notorious box office failure. However, it gained a cult following over time for being "so bad it's good," frequently rerun on TV for its cringe-worthy but entertaining moments[5]. Warsi's take reflects this cult status with affectionate ridicule and personal anecdotes tied to the film's making and its impact on his career.
