L ast year, several films inspired by real-life
events released, many of which enjoyed
box office success and critical acclaim. But
Nawazuddin Siddiqui isn't impressed.
Realistic cinema ke naam pe bohot bada
fraud chal raha hai. (There's a huge fraud
in the name of reality cinema)
The actor says, "Realistic cinema ke naam
pe bohot bada fraud chal raha hai. (There is
a huge fraud going on in the name of
reality cinema.) A lot of films are celebrated
in the industry in the name of realistic
cinema but they're all below average."
Ask him to name a film deserving of the
title, and he says: "I recently saw the film,
The Court, and that's what I call real and
mature cinema."
The 42-year-old, known for his roles in films
such as Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012), The
Lunchbox (2013), Badlapur (2015) and
Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), hopes that this
situation will improve soon. "Right now,
Bollywood is in the reshuffling phase and
maybe it will settle down. But as of now,
there is a lot of confusion between actors
and directors."
Has the National Award-winning actor (for
films such as Talaash: The Answer Lies
Within and Kahaani) achieved his worth in
the film industry? "It's too early for me to
question myself about that. If you look at
my career, it all actually started in 2012 and
I still have a few years to think about
something like this," he says.
It's not important to bag international
projects, but to make the world see how
good you are as an actor in that film
While actors like Irrfan, Priyanka Chopra and
Deepika Padukone have taken up
international projects, Siddiqui doesn't look
at it as a benchmark. The actor believes that
good acting takes precedence over the
nature of a project. "A lot of actors in the
past have also done Hollywood films but
now such projects are talked about a lot
more because of good marketing. Actors
are hiring agents and PR persons there and
here, to increase their value. It's not
important to bag international projects, but
to make the world see how good you are
as an actor in that film. The number of
projects also doesn't matter," he says.
