“‘Haddi’ has truly challenged me in unimaginable ways and I can’t wait to see how audiences react to it”, he added.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui had more than one hair stylist who worked with him throughout the shoot to create varied looks, alongside make-up artists who worked in sync to ensure that every single detail was in place.
