My passion for acting remains undiminished. I am still very active, though the roles in films have lately been a few and far-between. I’ve done interesting parts in Vikram Bhatt’s Haunted and an upcoming film on Down’s Syndrome Ahaan . I also play a key role in a new Rani Laxmibai bio-pic…no, not the one featuring Kangana Ranaut . This is another film entitled Swords & Sceptres,” says Arif with unbridled enthusiasm. It is his role as Abdul the staunchly loyal retainer in Raazi that has once again brought Arif’s powerful acting skills into the limelight. As the praise pours in Arif exults, “It is difficult to say what would work and what wouldn’t. But Raazi has made me realize how important it is to be part of a successful film.

Katrina Kaif ’s portrayal in the TIGER series is the most apt example. But imagine a spy who’s completely feminine replete with long, flowy hair and salwar kurtas et al.
