Nawaz: Not getting Back To Work Anytime Soon

Nawazuddin  Siddiqui who is far away from Mumbai in his  hometown  Budhana in Uttarakhand says he has  no  intentions to getting  back to work anytime soon. “I know  the  lockdown is being eased  in Mumbai and that  shooting is  being resumed .We are  allowed to shoot  from  9 am to  4 pm. That’s  good news. But I am not sure whether  it is the right time yet to get back to shooting,” says Nawaz who feels  more  at peace with himself than ever before.

“Here at home I am able to the things that I  can never do in Mumbai, like farming  my own land, and growing vegetables. I’ve worked enough  in the  past few years . I can take it easy  for as long as I  want.I know there is  a truckload  of  work  waiting for me. But until I feel safe I can’t return to shooting. My heart is not,” confesses Nawaz.

His pending assignments  include his brother Shamas’ directorial Bole Chudiya . “From 2020 to  April 2021, I completed  two  films Sangeen and Jogira Sa Ra Ra. I also finished a  major portion of my  brother Shamas’ film Bole Chudiya, shot a music video and  and sang  and shot  for a song  in Bole Chudiyan. I also  shot  for seven  ads.  This is  enough work for  the year. Even if I  don’t get to work  for the rest  of  the year I am okay with  it.”
