Haddi: As Nawazuddin Siddiqui dons the role of a drag in the film, says he now realizes why actresses take time in vanity vans to get ready
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is regarded as one of India's best actors, has established himself not only as one of the best in the business but also in Hollywood. With back-to-back releases, Nawazuddin has provided his fans with an amazing assortment of flicks to binge-watch. In his upcoming film Haddi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui portrays a transgender person. A recent reveal of the actor's first appearance in the movie went viral. Nawazuddin appears as a woman in the movie poster.
Nawazuddin admitted in an interview that his daughter became disturbed the first time she saw him dressed as a lady. However, since she realized it was for a part, he says everything is fine now. He continued by saying that as a result of this event, his appreciation for actresses has also multiplied. "My daughter was very upset when she saw me dressed as a woman. She now knows that it’s for a role and is fine now. I must say this, after this experience, I have huge respect for actresses who do this on a daily basis. Itna saara taam jhaam hota hai. Hair, make-up, kapde, nails... pura Sansar leke chalna padta hai (there are so many things, hair, make-up, clothes, nails…they take the whole world with them). Now I know why an actress may take longer than her male counterpart to get out of her vanity van. It’s absolutely justified. I will have more patience now (laughs)! says Nawaz”
Haddi is directed by Akshat Ajay Sharma and co-written by Adamya Bhalla. The film’s crew reported that they will shortly start filming and it would be extensively shot in western Uttar Pradesh, including Noida and Ghaziabad. Next year is when it is expected to be released.
