Nawazuddin talks about the hindrances in the drive of Bollywood industry along with certain positivities!

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has spoken out against the unfair market forces in Bollywood, stating that they are biased against actors like him.

In an interview, Nawazuddin expressed frustration that films featuring actors with a strong public following are often released in fewer theatres, limiting their reach. He emphasized the importance of marketing, publicity, and screening count in determining a film’s commercial success. Nawazuddin also shared his initial reservations about Gangs of Wasseypur, which has since become a cult classic. He admitted that he didn’t appreciate the film’s first cut but was blown by the final version screened at Cannes. He praised Anurag Kashyap’s genius in changing the face of Indian cinema despite not being fully appreciated in his own country.

Throughout his 25-year career, Nawazuddin has delivered powerful performances in films like The Lunchbox, Manto, and Sacred Games. However, he feels his films often need to receive the recognition they deserve due to limited theatre screenings. He urged for a fair chance to showcase his work in more theatres, allowing audiences to judge his demand and supply. Nawazuddin’s comments highlight the struggles faced by talented actors in Bollywood, where market forces can overshadow artistic merit. His candidness has sparked a conversation about the need for a more inclusive and fair industry.
