Nawazuddin Siddiqui on ‘Thackeray’: I can only say I am an actor and I will do all sort of roles

Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the finest performers of this generation. The ‘Manto’ actor is known for his impeccable acting skills and getting into the skin of the character. Now, Nawaz recently appeared on Arbaaz Khan’s web show ‘Pinch’. And spoke his heart out on a variety of issues.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui earlier this year portrayed the character of late Bal Thackeray in the biopic ‘Thackeray’. Bal Thackeray was the founder and supremo of Shiv Sena and one of the most powerful politicians of his generation. On the show, Nawaz has hit back at people who questioned him for taking such a role.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui said, “I can only say I am an actor and I will do all sort of roles. Many liberals have questioned me for taking up this role. I won’t explain it to them because they are intelligent people but what do I explain to those who are not smart enough? Few of my friends questioned me and my only answer to them was that I am an actor and since 30 years, I am only thinking, reading, breathing and living acting. I have never done anything beyond that.”

Nawaz has hit the nail on the head as actors have to put aside their ideology and do what’s best for the film. The talented actor has always given all for his roles.

The ‘Sacred Games’ actor further added, “So, no matter what character comes my way, I will do it. If you are judging me for the characters I play then I have also portrayed Ganesh Gaitonde, who was way more weird as a character. I played some cheap roles earlier. Today, I might be playing a saint and tomorrow a gangster. I want to play every sort of character. Today is the time and chance to explore, so I am doing it. I think people should leave all these characters in the theatres. They should take a film as a film and a character just as a character.”
