MUMBAI: Starting from some roles to making his presence felt in every frame and film, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has come a long way. He has proved his acting talent time and again.
There was a time when he used to search for work in the Industry. Now Nawazuddin is one of the most bankable actors, and all the top filmmakers want to cast him in their films. Having said that, Nawaz will be seen doing some interesting projects in the coming days.
Sujoy Ghosh's thriller Kahaani clocks a decade today (March 9, 2022). Starring Vidya Balan as the main protagonist, the film was well-received by the critics and the audience upon its release. However you folks would surprised to know that Nawazuddin Siddiqui was in two minds while taking up this film as he was busy juggling his time between shooting for Gangs of Wasseypur and Talaash: The Answer Lies Within.
The Sacred Games actor was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times, "And they all released together. Teeno filmon ne career badal diya mera. Actually, I wasn't (willing to do) Kahaani. At that time when workshops for Gangs of Wasseypur were on, Sujoy called me and we set up a meeting at a restaurant in Versova, where he showed me a documentary, following which I got interested."
He added, "Then I went up to Anurag Kashyap and asked for some days off to shoot the film, which he happily agreed. That's the best thing about Anurag. He isn't hesitant to let go of an actor to shoot another film in the middle of his own project."
