Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the few stars who do not mince their words while sharing their opinions about workings of the film industry. In a recent conversation with The Indian Express, Nawaz talked about the difference between actors who are loved by the masses and actors who are popular just because of their PR machinary.

Nawaz stated, "It is a big delusion that audience is intellectual. We have an audience everywhere, we have them in the most remote villages of India. There are two kinds of actors, one who is a ‘public ka actor’ and the other is ‘industry ka actor’. The actor which is loved by the public has only one issue that their films can’t reach the public, but when it does reach, public really loves them."

He added, "For ‘industry ka actor’, it doesn’t matter if the public likes them or not, but their films are being hammered to them. I am from the public, they will like my films, but my films don’t reach them. If my films get only 200-400 screens, how will I reach out to them?"

Nawazuddin concluded by saying, "When I take on a project, I don’t think this will be liked by my intellectual followers and this won’t, neither my performance has that kind of stiffness, so a village boy can enjoy my movies as much as a city boy does. I come from a village, it was us who watched so many films and make them hits, so I believe in the public that watches films in theatres and make it a hit."
