Salman Khan's opponent in Kabir Khan's 2015 Eid release, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which rolls in Delhi on November 3 is none other than the Kick dare-Devil Nawazuddin Siddiqui who will join the unit in January.
Revealed a source from the production, "It's a pivotal role. Kabir was very impressed with Salman and his chemistry in Kick and thought he would be ideal for this political drama." Confirming this, Kabir told Mirror, "I first worked with Nawaz in New York. This was well before he became a breakthrough acting force. I wanted to do another film with him but there was nothing apt for an actor of his calibre in Ek Tha Tiger or Phantom. I've finally found an intriguing part for him in Bajrangi Bhaijaan."
So, does Nawaz play Salman's adversary yet again? "There aren't any good or a bad guys in my film. His character has shades of grey and is someone who challenges Salman but is not a direct adversary."
Word is that with this film, Kabir is taking a stand against Right-Wing extremists. Retorts the director, "I can't talk much on the subject. All I can say at this point is that I'm dealing with a strong contemporary political backdrop. The film will confront all distinct ideologies, as a filmmaker it's important to do so. "
