Nobody gave me award for Gangs of Wasseypur except Lions Gold Award for the character of Faisal Khan, which became iconic. "This award is important for me as they select only those actors whose performances have been really good, compared to other awards functions. Those who get the awards, they feel happy and those who don't, feel upset." Nawazuddin, who appeared at the 22nd Lions Gold Awards in Mumbai, said: "Commercial awards don't affect me anymore. Clearly, Nawazuddin's Manjhi - The Mountain Man, a story based on a man who cut a road through a hill to connect his village, has not been in the picture. And that has paved the way for the rest.A National Award-winning actor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui said that he remains unaffected when his critically acclaimed movies fail to be recognised at any "commercial" award ceremonies.Īt most Bollywood award galas, it is Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Piku and Bajirao Mastani, which won the top honours. Be it Serious Men, Sacred Games or Raat Akeli Hai, Nawazuddin has picked the right scripts, cementing his relationship with OTT.
In an industry that is afraid of the word ‘caste,’ not a lot of actors would do a role like this.
The scene in which he explains his upper caste boss that his father starved his pregnant mother to earn some money from a photographer exploiting Dalit trauma for ‘art,’ is heart wrenching. Nawaz, who has spoken about facing caste-based discrimination before, channeled a raw angst in the film. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a well-known actor in Hindi cinema.
He also starred in Sudhir Mishra’s Serious Men, a film about a father who tries to capitalise on his genius son. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the first Indian actor and the one and only actor in the world whose eight films are selected and screened in the Cannes Film Festivals. He also quietly became the first pansexual lead character in the Hindi film industry, which doesn’t get a lot of attention but was important to the queer community. At the centre of it was a larger than life anti-hero who mouthed explicit and bizarre one-liners. It was a cultural phenomenon and the biggest Indian web-series, pushing the boundaries of smart storytelling and thrilling visuals. At the peak of his Bollywood career, Nawazuddin played Ganesh Gaitonde in Sacred Games. Nawazuddin Siddiqui (born ) is an Indian film actor who has appeared in some of Bollywoods major films including, Black Friday (2004), New York (2009), Peepli Live (2010), Kahani (2012), Gangs of Wasseypur (2012), Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 2 (2012), Manjhi (2013) and Talaash (2012). His other achievement is normalising working on OTT platform. However, despite all the hurdles, the actor decided to stick around, and thank god he did, otherwise we would never get a chance to witness the magic he creates on screen. He has talked about his brief work experience as a watchman in Delhi before graduating in office, and how finding work in Mumbai was not easy for him. His journey has been well documented and he has spoken at length about his life struggles in the film industry before he got his due. Since then, there has been no looking back for the actor Nawazuddin started his career in a small role as a terrorist in Sarfarosh in 1999 and followed it with many tiny yet memorable ones in films like Munnabhai MBBS, Aaja Nachle, Peepli Live, Black Friday and New York until he broke out with Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur 1 and 2. Nawazuddin, who turns 47 today, May 19, has changed what it means to be an actor in the film industry, and by doing so have paved the way for several others to follow. In the Hindi film industry, this term can be used to define Nawazuddin Siddiqui. A trailblazer is an adjective that can be used for a pathfinder, a person who breaks barriers and builds a better world.
