Nawazuddin Siddiqui: I had not wish to become a star; did not enter th

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the most
versatile actors in Hindi film industry. The
actor has proved his brilliance in movies
such as Gangs of Wasseypur (1 and 2),
Badlapur, Raman Raghav 2.0 and many
others. With films like Patang: The Kite, Miss
Lovely, Haraamkhor and The Lunchbox
among others - that travelled to various
international film festivals.
"I just hope my thought on cinema does not
get corrupt. The kind of cinema I am doing
is getting overwhelming response - be it in
India or internationally. The films are getting
screened and recognised at prestigious
festivals of the world, the appreciation that I
get as an actor is great. I just hope this
thought of doing good work continues and
I do not get corrupt," said Nawazuddin.
Nawazuddin hails from a small town in Uttar
Pradesh. Sharing his experience of the first
moving in Delhi, the actor said, "Initially, we
used to feel awkward as it was not our
culture but this is our tradition and identity
in the world like folk songs, folk dance,
traditional plays."
"I am not saying one should go to training
school. Self-education is essential as you
understand things on your own. The taste
of good cinema builds in. Because of
education we get to know how to judge a
good script. This is my taste and I will
continue doing such kind of cinema," the
actor added.
From the time Nawazuddin started
following cinema that was high on content.
"So maybe, I have the capability of choosing
a good script because of education, the
surroundings and the films that I have seen
as a viewer," said the actor.
"I did not enter the film industry for
recognition. I just wanted to do good work
- be it doing street plays or television shows
or films, be it doing small or big roles. I had
not wish to become a star and that I will get
recognition because I am a trained actor,"
he said.
"I just wanted to be busy in Mumbai, just
like how I was in Delhi. When there is no
work then you think something is wrong as
physically you are wanting to work but
there is no work," the actor added.
