“Nawazuddin Siddiqui Always Says I’ve Done Nothing… Success Hasn’t Made Him Lazy”: Sudhir Mishra

Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra can’t stop praising Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Sudhir has directed Nawaz in the streaming movie ‘Serious Men’, which was based on Manu Joseph’s novel of the same name.

Heaping praises on the actor, Sudhir mentioned that Nawaz had surrendered himself with all that talent to him. He said, “When I worked with Nawaz in serious men, I had a wonderful experience. He just hands himself over to you and he is this perfect. If you read any interview of Nawaz, he always says that I have done nothing, whatever Sudhir Bhai asked me to do, I did.”

Explaining what Nawazuddin Siddiqui said is partly correct, the filmmaker added, “It’s right to an extent but that’s wrong because he is handing himself to me with all that talent. So when I tell him something, it goes through that talent, through that skill set and emerges. He is not consciously doing it but it’s amazing to see him work. Success has not made him lazy. He still puts in a lot of work.”
