Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who now plays the lead role in most of his films, says that he never wanted to play the typical hero as a person with no bad qualities doesn’t exist.
The critically acclaimed actor, known for portraying complex characters with ease, said, “I am the highest paid actor in industry as far as acting is concerned. I did not have to ask. They (film-makers) themselves started paying me this.”
In a recent interview, the Manto actor voiced concern about the Hindi film industry’s ‘inferiority complex’ when it came to the West.
“I do not know why there is an inferiority complex among us… Everybody here wants to work in Hollywood and become big. I can’t understand why we have this complex,” said the actor.
He also pointed out that the difference between his forthcoming film Babumoshai Bandookbaaz and other films is that the “kind of hero you have been seeing, is not there in this film.”
Nawazuddin will next be seen in Babumoshai Bandookbaaz.
