Nawazuddin Siddiqui says when he is on a shoot with famous actors, he doesn’t let their fame intimidate him.
Siddiqui, who worked with Salman Khan in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, has just completed his first schedule with Shah Rukh Khan for Raees, a film in which he plays a policeman.
“When I am on set, Shahrukh and Salman are co-actors for me. If I start thinking I am working with Salman [the superstar], then as an actor, I would not be able to improvise the character I am playing. During shooting, I do not want to think about with whom I am working as it will corrupt my performance,” he said.
The 49-year-old actor, who is enjoying the success of his last project, Manjhi: The Mountain Man, will be seen with actor Amitabh Bachchan in Sujoy Ghosh’s next film.
“I think, as an actor, my work is to give the best performance. If I continue to think about Shahrukh and Salman as stars then I am not showing the proper respect to their characters as well as mine. You should be honest at your work,” he added.
