Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
doesn’t
believe
in
tinsel
town
tags.
He
is
averse
to
the
idea
of
being
addressed
as
star
or
megastar.
The
talented
actor
had
a
humble
beginning
in
the
movies
coupled
with
years
of
struggle.
That
was
until
Anurag
Kashyap's
Gangs
of
Wasseypur
happened
in
2012.
Since
then,
Siddiqui
has
seen
new
heights
of
praise,
accolades,
and
success
with
movies
such
as
Badlapur,
The
Lunchbox,
Raman
Raghav
2.0,
Thackeray,
Photograph
and
Manto
to
name
a
few.
In
spite
of
Nawaz
enjoying
immense
popularity
and
a
devoted
fan
base,
the
powerhouse
of
talent
does
not
like
to
be
categorized
as
a
'star’.
"I
don't
like
to
call
myself
a
star.
I
do
not
believe
in
such
tags.
After
being
recognized
as
a
star,
superstar
or
megastar,
the
industry
stereotypes
artistes
and
make
them
do
the
same
things," he
said
in
a
recent
interview.
He
went
on
to
add,
"Real
actors
are
those
who
do
different
types
of
roles,
but
when
you
get
trapped
in
the
'star'
category,
you
often
end
up
facing
stereotyping.
All
these
things
like
'star'
and
'superstar'
are
just
marketing
strategies.
That's
why
I
don't
like
being
called
as
a
star."
He
finally
concluded
by
saying,
"I
won't
be
stuck
in
a
comfort
zone.
It
is
very
important
for
an
actor
to
do
something
beyond
his
or
her
comfort
zone.
I
want
to
be
versatile.
If
I
start
consider
myself
a
star
then
I
might
become
proud,
and
this
can
hamper
my
skills
and
growth
as
an
artiste."
