Monday, 9th January 2017, 12:00 PM IST Nawazuddin Siddiqui has played several roles in his career. The ones most talked about him are his characters in movies like ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur 2’, ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’ and ‘Kick’. Nawaz has given his best performances in grey characters and apparently he was the first choice of Rahul Dholakia to play the notorious bootlegger in ‘Raees’. During a recent interview, Nawaz was speaking about how he got ‘Raees’. He said, “Shweta Tripathi my co-star in ‘Haramkhor’ is responsible for me doing ‘Raees’. Shweta called me one day asking me whether I would be interested in a script that Rahul Dholakia had to offer. These were really early days and Shahrukh Khan wasn't part of it yet.” When asked if he was the first choice to play the lead role, he said, “That's something I would not want to get into at this point in time.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’sfirst Box Office mobile app from here –Android: http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
