Nawazuddi Siddiqui Confirms He Is Playing The Lead In Ritesh Batra’s Next

After the highly-acclaimed Lunchbox Nawazuddi Siddiqui  is all set to team  up with  director Ritesh Batra again.

“That’s right. I am doing Ritesh Batra’s next. It’s an intense subject and totally different  from The Lunchbox and yes, unlike The Lunchbox where  I wasn’t really the  central character this time I play the lead,” says Nawaz who makes his Hollywood debut later this month in the much talked-about Lion.

“It isn’t really a Hollywood debut. It’s just a cameo. I am there in only one scene. I did it because the director Garth Davis personally asked me,” reveals Nawaz, for who the length of a role never happened. “I am as happy  with my lead in Haraamkhor and Ritesh Batra’s film as I am with my cameo in Lion.”
