His cinema breakthrough was a gradual one<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the best films by Nawazuddin Siddiqui are the classic &#8220;Gangs of Wasseypur&#8221; in 2012, which truly thrust him into the limelight. Before this, he played supporting but powerful roles in &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; and &#8220;Peepli Live&#8221;, in which his ability went unremarked. It was, however, Gangs of Wasseypur that finally established how good he could be, and everyone took notice. Earlier this year, his turn in &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/haddi\/0-0-1z5418670\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haddi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; again demonstrated that he&#8217;s an actor who can fully change for a character.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_He_doesnt_look_like_the_typical_Bollywood_hero\"><\/span><b>6.

He&#8217;s got a natural, real look and is more concerned with acting than looks. This has earned him a fan base that appreciates good storytelling and real characters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_He_has_collaborated_with_top_film_directors\"><\/span><b>7. He has collaborated with top film directors<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nawazuddin has collaborated with some of the greatest movie directors of India, such as Anurag Kashyap, Nandita Das, and Ritesh Batra. His role as a renowned writer in the movie Manto was also appreciated by most critics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_He_acted_in_a_Hollywood_film\"><\/span><b>8. He acted in a Hollywood film<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actor was also seen in an international movie called &#8220;Lion&#8221; (2016), which had Dev Patel. This may have been a supporting role, but it showed that the ability of Nawazuddin is not going unnoticed all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Hes_also_a_farmer_at_heart\"><\/span><b>9. He&#8217;s also a farmer at heart<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although he has achieved so much success as an actor, Nawazuddin never forgot his roots. He still visits his village and even cultivates the land. In several interviews, he has mentioned that working on the earth calms him and makes him humble.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_He_prefers_a_simple_life\"><\/span><b>10.

He likes dressing in ordinary clothing, remaining close to nature, and dedicating himself to work. Drama is his recreation and not a job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nawazuddin is liked by common people because he is real, honest, and dedicated. He is an excellent actor who can easily play any role. His acting is natural and deep. He does not act, he becomes the character.
