Brilliant actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is best known for his gritty and grounded characters in critically acclaimed films but every now and then, he doesn't shy away from doing lighthearted commercial films either. In a recent interview with The Indian Express, Nawaz stated that doing commercial films is his way of getting out of the negative mindset which comes after playing dark and twisted characters.

The actor stated, After having done some very intense characters like Raman Raghav, Manto or Ganesh Gaitonde, I felt the need to do a few light films. Bits of those roles have stayed with me, taken a toll on me, they don’t leave your system. These characters have taken away a lot from me.

He further added, It takes a month or two for them to get out of me completely. Then I crave to do something light because the other roles have affected me in one way or the other. When you take something from a character, that character also takes a lot from your life. Hence, I decided to do some light work for a bit; I am doing love stories, comedies, if I feel like trying something new after a bit, I’ll do that too.
