Nawazuddin Siddiqui  Speaks Of  His Transgender’s Role

The  very versatile  Nawazuddin Siddiqui  plays  a transgender  in  his  new film Haddi. This is his second transgender’s role in a row.

He played Laila, the vicious villain  who  dressed  in women’s clothes in Heropanti 2. Nawaz admits the  role went haywire. “In mainstream  commercial cinema  you are  never sure which  way the character is heading.Laila in Heropanti 2 was interesting to start with .Sadly audiences  didn’t get  a chance to understand the character,because I didn’t get a chance to play her with any continuity  or  graph. In  commercial cinema many scenes are edited and they  may affect your  character.”

He is  far more confident and  gung-ho about  Akshat Ajay Sharma’s  Haddi. “I play a double  role of a  transgender  character,  and  a male character .We  put  out  a picture of me  in elaborate  makeup . It was  a sensation. Since  the picture  was  made public my phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Everyone is  curious about what I am  doing.”

Apparently the transgender character , named Haddi will have lots  of  action scenes. How does Nawaz intend to be athletic  in  tight dresses and  stilettos?

“Oh , we’ve made sure the costumes don’t restrain me. The dresses are custom-made. My character will be  kicking ass even when she is  in a dress, ” Nawaz  promises.
