Nawazuddin Siddiqui On Rains Disrupting Shooting In Manila

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s  shooting of  the  dark thriller Adbhut had to be  halted  in  Manali this week . But Nawaz is  ultra-calm over the  disruption.

“It is Nature’s way of telling  us to  slow  down. We  can’t fight Nature’s fury. Rather than  protest and moan over  lost time,  I  see the break as bonus  time to rest. Don’t fight it, enjoy it,” says Nawazuddin Siddiqui with  monkish equanimity.

To make  up for lost time, Nawaz and his  director  Sabbir Khan  are shooting  overtime. “Whenever the rain stops we shoot  non-stop day and  night. It is an interesting way of shooting where we allow Nature to  dictate  our schedules.”

Adhbut , says Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is  a thriller  unlike any  other.  “As the title suggests it’s something never attempted before. I can’t tell you what  I play . But it’s something I’ve never attempted  before. My co-star is the talented Diane Penty.The director  is Sabbir Khan. I’ve worked with him in Munna Michael before. I am very  comfortable with  him. Hence ,a second film. I won’t work twice with a  director I  am not comfortable  with.”
