Arshad's next is "Short Kut - The Con Is On" that releases July 10. Produced by Anil Kapoor, the film has been directed by Neeraj Vora and also stars Akshaye Khanna and Amrita Rao.

"The film is actually not an out and out comedy...it's got a story and it's dramatic. But I bring in the humour in the film despite the fact that I am the villain and I play a bad guy. Akshaye and Amrita are the hero and heroine in the film," said the actor, who was last seen in the dud "Ek Se Bure Do".

After the success of the Munnabhai series, Arshad has mostly been seen in comedies like "Golamaal Returns", "Sunday", "Dhamaal" and "Golmaal: Fun Unlimited".

When asked if doing comedies was a deliberate choice, he said: "There's nothing I can do. I don't have a choice...most of the scripts I get are comedy scripts. There are hardly any serious films coming my way. I'm a pretty good actor and I'm comfortable with both serious and comedy films. I'm not deliberately doing comedies."

"Moreover, there are only comedies being made. Out of 10, eight films are comedies. But as long as the script is good, I'll do it. I don't let a good character and a good script go," said the actor who got critical acclaim for his performance as a police officer in the crime thriller "Seher".

His other future projects include "Ishqiya" and "Kaun Bola" and he is also waiting for part three of "Golmaal".

Despite a mixed career with a subdued initial start, Arshad said, "I'd never regret anything in life".
