EXCLUSIVE: Before Shah Rukh Khan's King, Arshad Warsi works with son Aryan Khan; to feature in a crucial role in The Ba***ds Of Bollywood

Earlier this year, there was a lot of excitement generated over Arshad Warsi signing King, one of the most awaited films of Bollywood. It features Shah Rukh Khan in a leading role along with several other prominent actors. It also marks the first time Arshad is working in a film fronted by SRK. Bollywood Hungama has learned that recently, Arshad Warsi worked with Shah Rukh’s son Aryan as well.

In the contemporary take, she’s a ballerina (Matilda’s Alisha Weir) who gets kidnapped by a group of unaware criminals, hired to keep her locked in a grand old house for 24 hours while ransom money is obtained.
