From Rejected To Most Popular; Success Story of Nawazuddin Siddiqui

2. Kahaani

Siddiqui is one of those uncommon on-screen characters who has made a name for himself on the worldwide stage, and stays well known with both the onlookers and critics.

 His role of intelligence bureau official in Kahaani, a 2012 Indian mystery thriller film directed and co-produced by Sujoy Ghosh was laudable. Siddiqui has figured out how to respectably obscure the lines of acting.

3. Gangs of Wasseypur (1-2)

Anurag Kashyap’s 2012 bollywood film series Gangs of Wasseypur brought a turning point in the film-career of Siddiqui.

Siddiqui played the role of mature guy Faizal who is a chronic marijuana smoker and is seriously affected by Bollywood movies as he starts behaving, talking and dressing like Bollywood characters. His part extended to a mature gangster forced by circumstance to lead his family's criminal enterprise.

Siddiqui won Stardust Award for Best Supporting Actor for the film.
