Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a de-glam star to play a debonair conman

From the dusty and muddy streets of (Gangs of)Wasseypurto a smart conman, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has impressed many with his work. Being a de-glam actor or a character actor, the star is now ready to change people’s perception with his next,Black Currency. The film will be directed by Sanjay Sharma.

The National Award winner has stated that his role in the flick is quite close to Amitabh Bachchan’s part inTrishul(1978). He said that it’s a dream come true for him as he grew up watching Big B’s films. On his character he said, “For the first time ever, I will be seen wearing expensive Savile Row suits, travelling in a private jet and choppers and conducting high profile meetings on exotic islands.”

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has paced his career beautifully, a small role inSarfarosh, an I.B.Officer inKahaani, supporting actor inTalaashand now a swindler in his next. This shows that a jack or six pack abs are not the only things that we get from Bollywood.
