Nawazuddin Siddiqui says he is done with small roles

• Nawazuddin Siddiqui started off in tiny roles and had a few scenes.
• Even if someone offers him 25 crore, he will not accept small role.
• He added, “We sometimes chase money and fame all our lives and get nothing.”

Nawazuddin Siddiqui started off in tiny roles and has even agreed to participate in productions where he just had a few scenes. Even if someone offers him 25 crore, he has stated that he will not accept little jobs now that he is a well-known figure in the film industry.

Nawazuddin claimed in a recent interview to have played numerous small roles during his career. “And I am done with that. Ab toh aap mujhe 25 crore bhi denge toh bhi main chhota role nahi karunga (Now, I won’t do a small role even if you offer me ₹crore for the part). I feel that money and fame are just by-products of your work. If you just do your job well, money and fame will run after you. If you chase them, you will never find them, so just keep doing good work,” Nawazuddin stated.

He added, “We sometimes chase money and fame all our lives and get nothing. I believe that khudi ko itna enhance kar lo, khud ko aisa bana lo ki money aur fame aapke ghulam ban jaaye aur aap ke peeche bhaage (Enhance yourself as much that money and fame become your slaves and run after you).”

 

Nawazuddin starred in a number of movies before becoming a household name for his depiction of Faisal Khan in Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur (2012). In Manoj Bajpayee’s 1999 cop drama Shool, he portrayed a waiter.
He also appeared in brief interrogation moments as a terrorist in the Talaash and Black Friday films, both starring Aamir Khan.  He had a heart-warming scene as a pickpocket in which he shared screenspace with Sunil Dutt. It was for Rajkumar Hirani’s Munnabhai MBBS.
In the movie Heropanti 2 with Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria, Nawazuddin played the antagonist.
Intriguing movies starring Nawazuddin are likely to be released. In Haddi, he will play the part of a transwoman. Akshat Ajay Sharma, who also co-wrote the script with Adamya Bhalla, is the film’s director. Tiku Weds Sheru, a movie starring Kangana Ranaut, is another project he is working on. Bole Chudiya, Jogira Sa Ra Ra Ra, and Afwah will also include him.
