Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Salman Khan taught me difference between star, actor

The actor who aspired to be a TV star, unknowingly, landed on the Big screen and has won all the praises, for each role he essayed. Nawazuddin Siddiqui who will be seen sharing the space with Salman Khan in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, has already worked with the actor in Kick. Talking of his experience with the Dabangg star, he said that it was Salman bhai who taught him the difference between an actor and a star.

He shared, “I'll tell you the difference between an actor and a star. If an actor is given a task, for instance, of passing a thread through a needle, he will sincerely do it, focussing totally on it. But if a Salman Khan has to do it, the focus is on Salman Khan doing it, nevermind whether the thread goes through the needle!”.

The Badlapur fame also talked about his role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan. He said, “After the interval, it's a journey with Salman Khan only. The scenes between us are conversational and very relatable. His character here isn't larger-than-life”. He also confessed that it was “easier working with Salman bhai this time”. Praising the actor, he said, “Salman bhai is a generous person and I have seen he really takes care of the people on the set”.
