Nawazuddin Siddiqui confesses to respecting women more after Haddi: 'Pura sansar leke chalna padta hai'

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is all set to feature in the dual role of a woman and transgender in his upcoming movie Haddi. His first look has already created a lot of buzz among the audience. But not many know that his daughter got upset after she saw him dressed as a woman. Also, the experience of sitting for hours on the make-up chair has been an eye-opener for him.

In a recent interview with Bombay Times, Nawazuddin spoke about her transformation into a woman for his character. "My daughter was very upset when she saw me dressed as a woman. She now knows that it’s for a role and is fine now. I must say this, after this experience, I have huge respect for actresses who do this on a daily basis. Itna saara taam jhaam hota hai."

Furthermore, the Gangs of Wasseypur actor said that he now understands the toil of actresses in the make-up room. "Hair, make-up, kapde, nails... pura sansar leke chalna padta hai" (there are so many things, hair, make-up, clothes, nails…they take the whole world with them). Most recently, Rajpal Yadav played the role of a transgender in his movie Ardh.

Directed by Akshat Ajay Sharma, Haddi is a noir revenge drama. Talking about his upcoming role, Nawaz said that the film is going to be a unique and special one since he will be sporting a never-seen-before look. Also, it will help him to push the envelope as an actor. In his first look poster, Nawaz sported a silver dress, side-parted hair, and bright makeup. Soon after his look went viral, netizens compared his look to The Kapil Sharma Show’s judge Archana Puran Singh. Meanwhile, Nawaz was last seen in Heropanti 2 alongside Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria.
