Bollywood actors Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan are teaming up again on-screen after a gap of six years for 'Welcome To Karachi'.
Irrfan, 47, and Warsi, who previously shared screen in 2008 films 'Krazzy 4' and 'Sunday', will begin shooting for the new movie in the next few days.
"In the film, Irrfan and I will travel to Karachi and get stuck there. My character is a little accident-prone as things keep happening to him all the time," Warsi said.
The film, directed by 'Khiladi 786' helmer Ashish R Mohan, is about two Indians and some people from Pakistan and America and Warsi, 46, says the audience will definitely get to see a camaraderie between him and Irrfan in the movie.
"Irrfan Khan is a different actor and since we both HAVE worked earlier, I am sure this time also we will have loads of fun," he said.
Irrfan, who has just wrapped up filming of 'Jurassic World', said he loves to explore comedy and that is one of the reasons he took up 'Welcome To Karachi'.
"It is a fun film, and when Ashish approached me with this project, I just heard the basic storyline and said yes. It is rare that you like the storyline immediately," said Irrfan.
It is still unclear who will play the female lead in the movie. The makers are reluctant to divulge any details and have only revealed that British actress is someone called KK, who is born in Pakistan.
