Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the actors who revolutionized acting in Bollywood with their gritty, realistic and grounded characters. Throughout his career, Nawazuddin has worked in critically acclaimed indie projects as well as commercial crowd pleasing entertainers and needless to say, he has excelled in both.
In a recent interview with PTI, Nawazuddin Siddiqui pointed out the difference between art films and commercial films and stated that it is dumb to expect method acting in latter. The actor stated, There's a certain presentation of performances in commercial films. That form is entirely different. If you expect to use method acting here, then you're dumb. This is for fun, the audience of these films comes to enjoy. So, if you sit down to dissect my performances, maybe you'll find a lot of flaws. But if you take it as pure fun, one would really enjoy.
He further added, You need to know what kind of acting is required, otherwise, the text and the subtext will differ. But here, the text is everything- what I'm saying, it is in your face- there is no in-depth study of what the dialogue meant, the how's and why's of it.
