A complate antithesis of the quintessential Bollywood hero, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has found audience acceptance after a good decade and a half of being part of the industry. In the last few years, he has shared screen space with superstars Amitabh Bachchan ('Te3n'), Shah Rukh Khan ('Raees'), Salman Khan ('Bajrangi Bhaijaan') and Aamir Khan ('Talaash'), and still managed to get noticed.

As the actor gears up for the release of his next, 'Haraamkhor', after a long period of uncertainty (read: censor woes), Nawaz says having worked with the industry’s top guns helps bring audience for his smaller films. "When I work with them, people notice me too and come to watch my smaller films. My films always benefited when I work with big actors. Even if I manage to pull in five per cent of the audience, it gives my film a good footfall, leading to good collections. I am sure people have noticed the promos of 'Raees' and will come and watch 'Haraamkhor'," he explains.
The actor plays an upright cop in 'Raees' and his dialogues have caught on already. "The dialoguebaazi in 'Raees' is more like a conversation between my character and Shah Rukh bhai’s. Rahul sir (Dholakia, director) has kept them simple, yet impactful. I am glad people are loving it," he adds.
