Arshad Warsi said working on 'Hulchul' was a bad experience for him, recalling that Neeraj Vohra had told him his role would be similar to Akshay Kumar’s in 'Hera Pheri'. However, he said that once he reached the set, he realised the part was completely different. "But since I had given a commitment, I did the film," Arshad further said.
