The acclaimed actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui recalls his difficult times as a junior artist when he didn’t know what his next meal would look like. Siddiqui plays a junior artist in the upcoming comedy-drama movie “Tiku Weds Sheru.”
The actor recalled his early difficult years and said “I know how it feels to be a junior artist because I too was a struggling actor at some point in my life. I’ve been with junior artists; hence I know the struggles. I know their insecurities, their dreams, and their complexities. I know the fear of not knowing what your next meal would be like.”
Nawazuddin Siddiqui continued, “I’ve worked in multiple films as a junior artist, I’ve done many ads as well. And if you see, there’s a coca cola ad featuring Sachin Tendulkar where and a few of my friends, including Rajpal Yadav, play the role of washerman. We hid our faces when the camera comes towards us, to save face as ex-NSD students.”
In “Tiku Weds Sheru,” Nawazuddin claimed that those trying circumstances inspired him to play the role of young artist Shiraz Khan Afghani, better known as Sheru.
The film is produced by Kangana Ranaut under the Manikarnika Films label and directed by Sai Kabir Srivastav. Avneet Kaur co-stars with Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the film’s key roles. By June 23, “Tiku Weds Sheru” will have its Amazon Prime Video debut.
