In an interview with film critic Rajeev Masand, the actor opened up about his criteria of choosing a role. Nawazuddin said, “I don’t give a damn about the audience or about how my image will
be affected by playing a certain role. In fact, I first grab the most unlikeable characters! That helps me break the clichés and doesn’t limit me as an actor. The day I start thinking on
those lines, my performance will become corrupt.”
The actor further said that thinking about the budget of the film has never been a criteria for him to sign a project, “For an actor that doesn’t matter. It is not his job to think about the
monies. The only job as an actor is to follow the director’s vision and perform,” he said further admitting the sad fact that if the movie is a hit, one’s average performance is also
applauded and if the film flops, one’s brilliant performance also falls short! (ALSO READ: Haraamkhor actress Shweta Tripathi says working with Nawazuddin Siddiqui was like working with a

The actor, who gained fame with his performances in films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Kahaani, says that success has changed the way people behave around him. “There has been no change in
me, or in the way I perform. While I have gained experience but my instinct remains the same. But yes, the way people look at me has changed. I am now taken seriously,” Nawazuddin said
further revealing that he is at a happy space right now in his career since he is getting to do diverse roles. (ALSO READ: Nawazuddin Siddiqui upset about film reviews on social media by

The actor who will next be seen playing a cop in Raees who takes on the liquor gangster Raees Aslam played by Shah Rukh Khan also talked about his experience of working with King Khan. Nawaz
revealed, “I had a great time doing scenes with him. Shah Rukh Khan told me on day one that he will fully respect the character that I play and will not cross the line. He was not a
superstar in the film, he was the character Raees Aslam and that maintained us to maintain the chemistry between the two characters – his gangster Raees Aslam and my cop Majmudar,”
Nawazuddin signed off.
