Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who was nominated for an International Emmy for his role in Netflix’s Serious Men, has previously stated that he intended to leave the streaming service. He has now explained that his comment was taken out of context in an exclusive interview with India Today.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui made waves this month when he revealed his intention to leave OTT. His comment quickly went viral. Now, in an exclusive interview with Chaiti Narula on India Today Television, the actor has clarified that he never said anything and that his comment was taken out of context.
For his amazing performance in Netflix’s Serious Men, Nawazuddin has been nominated for Best Actor at the International Emmy Award. Christian Tappan (The Great Heist), David Tennant (Des), and Roy Nik (Normali) are among the actors competing in this category. Nawazuddin also discussed his personal experiences with India’s caste system and how they influenced his performance in the film.
OTT platforms have become a “dhanda (racket) for huge production firms,” according to Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He also discussed why he chose not to participate in programmes on digital media. The actor, on the other hand, confessed that his comments had been taken out of context. “I’m making a lot of films for OTT,” he remarked. Netflix is why I’m sitting here. We’ve all gotten worldwide recognition thanks to OTT platforms. We get to show off our skills in front of the entire globe. In my comment, I was referring to those production firms that produce anything at any time.
Serious Men stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Ayyan Mani, a Dalit father who misrepresents his kid as a genius in this adaption of Manu Joseph’s novel. According to the actor, his life experiences inspired him to play the role with such ferocity. “, he explained “When it comes to acting, your background matters a lot. When you play a character, you must be able to relate to them in some manner. I grew up in a little village before relocating to a larger metropolis. As a result, the life experience I gained in the interim is something I frequently refer to while portraying a character. Thousands of individuals have come into contact with me. It helps me with the roles I portray, therefore I consider it a benefit.”
