Nawazuddin Siddiqui recalls how he was offered ‘Heropanti 2’: “I was in London shooting for some other film”
Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has uncovered that he was offered the forthcoming action entertainer ‘Heropanti 2’ while he was shooting for another movie in London.
Recalling how he got the part, Nawaz said, ” I was in London shooting for some other film when this role was offered to me by Ahmed and Rajat. They narrated the character to me while we were traveling to a certain location in the countryside and then later we took the narration to the hotel.”
He also said, “Both Ahmed and Rajat had a lot of zeal and enthusiasm while narrating ‘Laila’ to me, which was impressive! The fact that they were living the character made me want to play ‘Laila’ even more.”
He also said that the authenticity of his character in the movie appealed to him the most, “However, ‘Heropanti 2’ is a commercial film but today, the authenticity, the background, the reasons, and the logic of the character matter more than anything. I did realize that even the content-driven movies don’t have as much information as Ahmed and Rajat had for this character.”
