While
the
film
industry
is
slowly
getting
back
on
its
feet
in
terms
of
shootings
with
the
relaxation
in
the
COVID-19
lockdown,
actor
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
is
in
no
hurry
to
get
back
to
work.
In
a
recent
interaction
with
Hindustan
Times,
the
Sacred
Games
actor
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
am
a
kind
of
person,
who
moulds
and
adjusts
according
to
the
given
situation,
so
I
was
fine
with
loads
of
work,
and
I
am
also
okay
when
there's
been
no
shoots
etc.
Iss
samay
safety
aur
survival
sabse
zyaada
important
hai.
Jab
waqt
aayega
toh
kaam
bhi
kar
lenge
(As
of
now,
safety
and
survival
is
more
important.
Work
will
arrive
with
time."
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui's
last
few
projects
including
Ghoomketu,
Raat
Akeli
and
Serious
Men
released
on
OTT
platforms.
Speaking
about
it,
the
actor
said
that
he
is
not
bothered
by
the
medium.
The
actor
was
quoted
as
saying,
"For
me,
the
medium
has
never
really
mattered.
Even
now,
if
people
are
able
to
watch
my
work
on
a
streaming
site,
why
should
I
complain?
It's
a
new
space
and
I
am
enjoying
it.
Even
audiences,
who
were
happily
consuming
a
particular
kind
of
formulaic,
happy-go-lucky
fare,
have
got
exposed
to
quality
world
cinema
that,
in
turn,
has
moulded
their
taste
in
a
big
way.
And
that's
great
news
for
actors
like
me.
I
feel
once
all
of
this
(COVID-19
pandemic)
settles
down,
people's
perspective
and
outlooks
towards
things,
and
even
life,
will
alter
in
some
way."
Nawazuddin
said
that
for
him,
the
lockdown
has
been
a
blessing
in
disguise.
"Isme
koi
doubt
nahi
hai
ki
pandemic/lockdown
bahut
saare
logon
ke
liye
pareshaaniyan
lekar
aaya.
And
that's
why
so
many
people,
in
general,
complain
about
it
but
I
look
at
it
as
a
sort
of
blessing
in
disguise," the
actor
told
the
daily.
He
further
added,
"Earlier,
where
was
the
fursat
to
just
sit,
talk
and
enjoy
such
great
time
with
your
loved
ones.
The
same
holds
true
for
me
too
because
the
lockdown
has
given
me
an
opportunity
to
spend
quality
time
with
family,
especially
my
mother.
Mumbai
mein
toh
din
kahaan
chala
jaata
hai
pata
nahi
chalta,
as
you
are
always
running
around
for
meetings,
and
shoots
etc."
Talking
about
how
he
spent
a
majority
of
the
lockdown
days
between
his
village,
Budhana
(Uttar
Pradesh)
and
Dehradun
(his
younger
brother's
house
in
Uttarakhand),
Nawazuddin
said,
"I
have
done
farming
(at
his
family-owned
farmland),
watched
some
great
movies
and
also
spent
time
with
my
nieces
and
nephews.
Aur
kya
chahiye?
It's
surely
been
a
very
difficult
time
for
everyone
but
aapke
paas
do
hi
options
hain:
either,
you
keep
complaining,
or
try
and
look
for
some
positives.
I
prefer
the
latter."
The
actor
revealed
that
he
also
caught
up
with
films
starring
some
of
his
most
favourite
actors
like
Anthony
Hopkins,
Daniel
Day
Lewis,
Ricardo
Darin
and
Tony
Leung
among
others,
during
the
lockdown.
With
respect
to
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui's
upcoming
movies,
the
actor
will
next
be
seen
in
Bole
Chudiyan
and
Jogira
Sara
Ra
Ra.
