Siddiqui, who has worked with Shah Rukh
Khan in the forthcoming film "Raees", says
the superstar comes to the set devoid of any
airs. That, he says, helped him to act well in
some crucial scenes of the film.
Nawazuddin has worked with all three
Khans of Bollywood -- Aamir, Salman and
SRK.
Talking about his experience of working
with them, Nawazuddin told IANS: "I have
worked with all the Khans, whether with
Aamir ji in 'Talaash', Salman bhai in 'Kick',
and Shah Rukh sahab in 'Raees'. All of them
have different styles and I had a great time
working with them."
"When it comes to Shah Rukh Khan, I
enjoyed working with him a lot because he
works like an actor on set. In addition, that
reflected on our performance as we have
some crucial scenes in the film. He does not
carry his stardom on set. He is very
humble."
In "Raees", Nawazuddin plays a police
inspector named Jaideep Ambalal Majmudar,
who is on a mission to arrest Raees -- a
bootlegger played by Shah Rukh.
An 'outsider' in the film industry,
Nawazuddin started his film career in 1999
with "Sarfarosh", and he went through a
long struggle period before getting visibility
with films.
Asked what kept him motivated during
those days of struggle, the acclaimed actor
said: "See, my aim was not to get a huge
role in every film. I just wanted to act in
films."
"I did not get depressed thinking why am I
not getting the role of a hero, but just one
scene. I did not have any high
expectations, but the wish to continue my
journey as an actor. I am thankful to
Bollywood that finally they are giving me
some good roles. Having said that, I must
say that there are so many talented actors
here and they also deserve equal
opportunity."
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, "Raees" is
releasing on January 25.
