Mumbai, May 17 -- In his career spanning over 20 years, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has mostly played dark and intense roles - majority of which have been him playing a gangster in films such as the Gangs of Wasseypur, Monsoon Shootout (2013), Babumoshai Bandookbaaz (2017) and most recently, the web series Sacred Games. While he fits into every character with equal ease, Nawazuddin, popular to contrary belief, says that he isn't partial to playing intense roles. "I think it's more to do with film-makers who feel like I can do justice to the roles because so far, all my gangster roles have been very complicated. All my parts have a lot of layers and it's not an easy job so it's not like I have an affinity for playing dark characters. I would love to do a love story or even a comedy. In fact, a lot of my films have an element of comedy because I think I have developed a good comic timing. Making people laugh is the toughest thing in the world", says Nawazuddin whose last film, Photograph did the rounds of film festivals. The actor who is a National School of Drama graduate is known to be a versatile actor and he credits all of that to his training at the acting institute. Talking about it, he says, "Since I am a trained actor, my thinking process is slightly unique or different. My training and experience is very different from that of a conventional hero. I always try to seek inspiration from my surroundings and see if the character exists in my life." However, he is quick to add that some kind of training is important in every sphere of life. "Some things can be taught but if you are talented, acting classes help you polish your skills. In every field, some kind of training is essential. If you are asked to fly an aircraft, obviously, you need to learn to do that so similarly in acting, it helps if you know your craft. In the West, they won't even consider you if you aren't a trained actor. Everyone has prior experience - either in a university or having worked on stage. They don't just get up one fine day and say they want to be an actor. Some expertise is important," says the actor who is looking forward to the second season of his web show, Sacred Games....
