Happy Birthday Nawazuddin Siddiqui: The craftsman who never wanted to be a star, but an actor

Firstpost  

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui' s struggles were different as compared to the regular struggles of a star in Bollyood. Recollecting a conversation with him a few months back, I remember him mentioning that he never aspired to be a typical Bollywood actor and that mainstream Bollywood films never interested him. Typical Bollywood films have five songs, half-an-hour of action scenes and half-an-hour of choreography, so there is no scope for actors to show their talent.” He believes that it is easy to become a star, but becoming a good actor requires dedication. From his 2012 release Miss Lovely and Gangs of Wasseypur, then 2013 releases Monsoon Shootout, The Lunchbox, Bombay Talkies followed by 2016 release Psycho Raman and 2018 release Manto was all the movies that were nominated at Cannes Film Festival and coincidently the actor has been present their celebrating his birthday. On the work front, Nawazuddin has an interesting line-up of films in his kitty which includes ‘Tiku Weds Sheru’, ‘Noorani Chehra’, and ‘Adbhut’ among others.
