Nawazuddin Siddiqui is unhappy with the type of films that are gaining popularity at the box office

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, an actor, has slammed recent big-budget movies, saying they only create awe and shock. Nawazuddin said in a new interview that these are visual experiences and asked where the actual cinema is. He went on to say that he still believes there has been no progress, and that in movies, superficial entertainment beats skill. Nawazuddin further stated that big-budget films take over theaters, leaving him to worry if small-budget films will be released in theaters. The actor expressed gratitude to OTT platforms, saying that it is here that he can see good movies.

The on-and-off lockdowns, which resulted in an increase in streaming content, are largely believed to have exposed viewers to a diverse range of cinema in recent years. This appears to be a myth, according to Nawaz.

According to the Kick (2014) actor, it's difficult for 'decent, modest, small budget films' to be released in theaters because only big-budget films are released. In response to such films, he said, "Such movies dazzle and create awe, that planes are put in water and fishes are made to fly. These are visual experiences that even I like to watch but where is cinema? When you watch films like CODA, King Richard, and some good films on OTT, thank God OTT has saved us, then you feel relieved that good films are being made. I think children like these shocking films. A young mind is a progressive mind. We should have been more progressive after two years, but unfortunately, it didn't happen."

On the work front, Nawazuddin will next be seen in the action-thriller Heropanti 2. Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria star in the film, which will be released on April 29, 2022.
