Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who was recently seen in the film Jogira Sara Ra Ra, has opened up about how he can’t criticise mediocre actors today, because they have influential contacts in the industry.
He also mentioned that talented actors like him and Manoj Bajpayee haven’t been given the opportunity to headline big-budget films.In a conversation with Zoom Entertainment, Nawazuddin averred, “Today, mediocre actors are getting attention because they have money and powerful friends who hype them up and create opportunities for them. Because these mediocre actors have such powerful friends in the industry, we know that we cannot speak against them.”
In view of actors who could not get big budget films, Nawazuddin said, “Be it Irrfan Khan or Manoj Bajpayee, nobody has made a big film with us. They keep calling us great actors, but no one has ever invested in Rs 50 crore on us.”
The actor also added, “When the same actors die, people call them the greatest actors ever. They don’t give them the respect they deserve when they are alive.”
The actor will now be seen in Jogira Sa Ra Ra Ra with Neha Sharma.
