Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the most stellar actors that we have in the industry today and every time he takes up a role, he makes sure that he gives in his 100 per cent to make sure the character looks larger than life and more convincing on the screen. 

Keeping up with his grounded persona, Nawaz has been rather brutally honest with his responses in interviews. He is seen as one of the actors who gave voice to Indian shows and movies on the OTT giants like Netflix but he has decided to not to be a part of the web shows as the quality has completely deteriorated. 

He had talked about his decision back in 2021 and in a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, he has again shared why he has taken this decision.

He said that the PR machinery works on promoting the show way too much and makes it look like every show has meaningful content and he doesn’t want to be a part of that herd mentality. “Today, there are many web series being made. Because of the marketing and public relations machinery that goes into promoting them, har series ki tareef ki ja rahi hai. This causes a lot of confusion about which series are truly good and which aren’t,” said Nawaz. 

Elaborating on his decision, he said, “A lot of actors have now forayed into that space, but I’m not someone who believes in herd mentality. Mera zameer yeh gawaara nahin karta. Having said that, I’m open to doing web films because it gives an actor a global platform.”  

He also added, “It was a conscious decision to try my hands at multiple genres. I don’t want to do the same kind of films, because it bores me. This year, I really wanted to concentrate on love stories.”  

We agree with his few viewpoints wherein he has rightly pointed out that quantity has trumped quality. Do you agree with his statements? Let us know in the comments section below.  

In 2022, he will be seen in five films, starting with Jogira Sara Ra Ra and Tiku Weds Sheru to Adbhut, Sangeen, and Heropanti 2. While he plays the lead role in Jogira Sara Ra Ra and Tiku Weds Sheru, he will be seen in the support cast in the other three films.
