Playing Raman Raghav Was Mentally Draining, Says Nawazuddin Siddiqui

A couple of days back, Anurag Kashyap unveiled the teaser of his upcoming film ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’. The 50-second teaser intrigued the movie buffs and they are now eagerly waiting for the trailer of the film, which will be released tomorrow. Film’s lead Nawazuddin Siddiqui was not a part of the teaser, but the netizens are growing curious to see him in the trailer.

After playing a variety of roles in his past ventures, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor will be seen playing a serial killer in the Anurag Kashyap directorial. During a recent interview, he revealed that the role of Raman Raghav was so demanding that he recited the movie's dialogues while being half-conscious in a hospital once. He said, "We shot the film for about 20 days. Once during shoot, I got unwell and was taken to a hospital. I was told later that even while I was almost half-unconscious in the hospital, I was repeating my dialogues from the film".

He added that the role was mentally draining for him. The Badlapur actor said that to get into the skin of the character he had to understand the mindset of the serial killer, who operated in Mumbai during the mid-1960s. The thriller flick will be screened at Cannes' Directors Fortnight section on May 16 and will hit the theater screens on June 24.
