'Freaky Ali' may look like an easy role to others, but it is not easy.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Even though I hated doing farming and wanted to just get out of the village, I would work from 5 in the morning till 5 in the evening.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Before 'Raman Raghav 2.0,' I played a criminal in 'Badlapur.' Though the character was innocent, he was not correctly interpreted by some sections of the audience.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I don't want to take names, but there are some people who get everything served on a platter. This is a movie, this is your role, and you have to do it. Some people have to strive so hard to reach where they have and want to.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I knew I would get offers to play the villain after 'Kick,' and I had already decided to reject all of them.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Kabir Khan is that rare director who manages to merge Bollywood formula with a good story.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Kabir Khan is a director who goes out of his way to make his actors comfortable. He's very chilled out. He makes the environment on set very casual and friendly.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I have fallen in love so many times. If one relationship ended, I would search for another girl. I was always madly in love with all the girls that I dated.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I decided to be a part of 'Bajrangi'... because I felt that it tells a very relevant story.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
You will never see me dancing around the trees, chasing a heroine; I will never do films, no matter what the budget, for the heck of it.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I have seen people climbing up and down the ladder of success, and I learnt a lot from them.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Coming from a small town, I didn't have big dreams. My biggest ambition was to find a job for myself.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
For me, as an actor, there is no commercial or independent or art cinema. For me, it's a character that is given by the director. And it is a task for me that I have to fulfill it to the best of my ability regardless of the kind of film that it is.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
In my head, I believed even though I am an actor, there was no need to dance. That's not me.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
One should go to the line through the character. You should see their lifestyle in the way they speak.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I won't give the credit to 'good fortune.' Whatever I have achieved is because of my hard work and passion.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
My character should not be ordinary, cliched, and if I feel that it's difficult to do this character, I take up that challenge to get into his character.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
If I am comfortable with my co-star, then that always shows in my performances.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I was introduced to cinema by C-grade films that played in my village, Budhana, in UP. Only films by Dada Kondke, Mahendra Sandhu, and Kanti Shah were available.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
My experience has offered me the sensibility that encourages me to try newer characters.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
'Haraamkhor' is a low budget film. We are not worried about the box office because our film is already in profit. It's got a strong content that will reach people's heart.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I don't want my work to be heavy. The challenge is to make it interesting and engaging, keeping in mind the need for method acting. This is what I have learnt from Bharat Muni's 'Natya Shastra' and from the Russian theatre legend Stanislavsky.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
There was electricity in our village only for 2-3 hours a day, so all my life, I studied under a lamp.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
When I had no money, I would find out which friend had work and money at that point in time and would go and stay with him for a week. All of us theatre guys did that.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Prior to joining NSD, I was briefly associated with a small theater group in Delhi called Sakshi. Saurabh Shukla, Manoj Bapayee were my seniors in that group. I performed a few supporting roles in Sakshi plays.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Background scores allow me an absolute flight of the imagination, and I travel in my mind's eye. I do not like the scores to have vocal notes, because they act as a limitation to these flights of fancy.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I used to be the best comic actor in my batch. Everyone knew that my comic timing was impeccable.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I have done theatre, and I enjoy the process of smaller films a lot more. When I do such films, there are certain things which I get to do which are untapped. The scenes give me the liberty to play and mould the character in accordance to the director's mindset.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
How long will we keep making films where hero-heroine is dancing around trees?
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Back in 1993, I was studying in Delhi, and I had a girlfriend. I had never touched a girl before that in my entire life. One day, I decided to go out with her to a garden. We were sitting beside each other, and I just glanced around to see if anyone was looking at us, and I put my hand over hers. I thought love started in this way.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I can go back to poverty if a situation comes. I have sailed through the worst days of my life, and I am prepared for any crisis.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
The Indian audience is getting exposed to world cinema and realising the power of unique plots and distinct characters.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I am ably balancing big and small films. With every big film I do, I try to take up films that are high on content and small on budget.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Looks is a matter of perception. At Cannes, Europeans think I am good looking, while in India, I am not.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I was determined to be an actor and make a name in the industry, and hence, I did.
Quote by -Nawazuddin Siddiqui
I am doing characters that have so many layers. And I am very lucky that I show a lot of variety.
