With every new project, Nawazuddin Siddiqui tries to do something unique in order to push his limits and test his skills. Recently, the actor started working on a film titled ‘Haddi’ in which he’ll be seen portraying a woman as well a transgender. The first look of his character from the film was released recently and in a conversation with Bombay Times, Nawaz shared a thing or two about this unique role.
The actor said, “It’s just been a couple of days. We have started the shoot of Haddi in Noida. It’s a revenge drama. I will be portraying two roles in the film — I play a woman and a transgender. These are two separate parts, it’s a double 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 have known him since the time he has worked with Anurag Kashyap. We are finally doing the film.”
Nawaz then went on point out some differences between male and female filmmakers. He stated, “I have worked with many renowned female directors and that helped me a great deal. I realised that women look at the world differently. They are far more compassionate and they see beauty in everything. For most men, it’s often about power and control. That also reflects in our relationships. Men tend to be more territorial and unko adhikaar jatana hai, auraton par bhi. The female gaze is kinder and sensitive. I am trying to get that POV (point of view) right.”
