About the choice for this unique role, Nawazuddin Siddiqui said: “It has only been a few days. We have started shooting haddi, I will be playing two roles in the film – I play a woman and a transgender. These are two separate parts, it’s a dual role! Akshat had this script and wanted to make the film for almost four years. Akshat has worked as a second unit director in AK VS AK and Sacred Games. I’ve known him since he worked with Anurag Kashyap. Now we are finally making this venture possible.”
He shared: “Outfit, hair, makeup, yeh sab toh theek hai… that’s not my concern. There are experts to look at and they know their craft. My concern is to get the internal thinking process right. What do women think? What do they want? An actor’s job is to get inside the head of the character he’s playing. Your perception, outlook on life as a woman will undoubtedly be different and that’s the hardest part about haddi for me. Ek aurat ke nazariyese duniya dekhni hogi. The film is not about costumes and gestures. The process is more internal and in-depth and my main concern is that I have to bring that to the public.”
He also revealed: “I’ve worked with a lot of renowned female directors and that has helped a lot. I realized that women look at the world differently. They are much more compassionate and they see beauty in everything. For most men, it’s often about power and control. That is also reflected in our relationships. The female gaze is compassionate and sensational. I try to understand deeply that point of action.”
The actor takes nearly three hours a day to get his feminine look, hair, makeup and outfit on point. He shared: “When I play a female character, I have to think like a woman and that’s my test as an actor.” On this note, the actor added: “My daughter was very upset when she saw me dressed as a woman. But of course she now knows it’s for a role and she understands that.”
He also says he has a lot of respect for actresses who do this every day. “It takes me three hours to get ready. Now I know why an actress can take longer than her male counterpart to get out of her vanity van. It is absolutely justified. Itna saara taam jhaam hota hai! Hair, makeup, haircut, nails… pura sansar leke chalna padta hai. Now he knows why an actress can take longer than her male counterpart to get out of her vanity van. It is absolutely justified. I’ll be more patient now.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Nawaz has an interesting lineup of films, including: Tiku Weds Sheru, Noorani Chehraand adbhut among other things.
