Bollywood
actor
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
says
he
feels
he
is
presently
the
highest
paid
actor
in
Bollywood
in
terms
of
acting.
In
an
appearance
in
Aap
Ki
Adalat,
India
TV,
the
critically
acclaimed
actor,
known
for
portraying
complex
characters
with
ease,
said:
"I
am
the
highest
paid
actor
in
industry
as
far
as
acting
is
concerned.
I
did
not
have
to
ask.
They
(filmmakers)
themselves
started
paying
me
this."
The
actor,
popular
for
films
like
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur,
The
Lunchbox
and
Raman
Raghav
2.0,
wonders
why
the
Indian
film
industry
is
obsessed
with
Hollywood.
"I
do
not
know
why
there
is
an
inferiority
complex
among
us...
Everybody
here
wants
to
work
in
Hollywood
and
become
big.
I
can't
understand
why
we
have
this
complex.
When
we
watch
films
from
a
powerful
country,
we
feel
somewhat
inferior.
We
think
our
films
are
not
up
to
their
level,
but
at
present,
we
should
feel
proud
of
our
films.
We
are
making
films
with
very
good
content
here."
Nawazuddin
will
next
be
seen
in
Babumoshai
Bandookbaaz,
in
which
he
has
some
intimate
scenes
with
actor
Bidita
Bag.
Earlier,
actor
Chitrangada
Singh
was
a
part
of
the
movie,
but
she
had
walked
out
it.
Commenting
on
that,
Nawazuddin
said:
"She
left
when
half
of
the
shooting
was
over.
Actually
our
director
(Kushan
Nandy)
wanted
some
more
kissing
scenes,
and
she
said,
'Enough
is
enough,
I
won't
be
able
to
do
any
more
scenes,
and
left'."
He
said
he
felt
"uncomfortable" initially
while
doing
kissing
scenes,
but
became
used
to
it.
Narrating
an
incident
with
Huma
Qureshi
during
the
shoot
of
Gangs
of
Wasseypur,
he
said:
"We
had
to
do
a
romantic
scene,
and
she
started
addressing
me
as
Nawaz
bhai.
I
went
to
the
director
Anurag
Kashyap
and
said,
'She
is
calling
me
bhai,
how
can
I
do
the
scene?'" With
