Not
so
long
ago,
actress
Kangana
Ranaut
pointed
out
how
'Bollywood'
is
copied
from
Hollywood
and
it
should
be
changed.
Now,
actor
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
feels
the
same,
and
says
that
if
he
could,
he
would
change
the
name
of
'Bollywood'
itself.
"Yes,
I
want
to
change
one
thing,
the
name
'Bollywood'
itself.
Yeh
jo
udhaar
ka
naam
le
rakha
hai,
sabse
pehle
humein
yeh
badalna
chahiye," said
Nawazuddin
when
he
was
asked
by
a
leading
daily
about
what
he
would
like
to
change
in
Bollywood.
Nawazuddin,
who
was
recently
seen
in
Netflix
film
Serious
Men
directed
by
Sudhir
Mishra
spoke
about
the
importance
of
being
recognised
in
the
West
and
said,
"A
lot
of
my
films
would
go
to
international
festivals,
and
even
get
awards,
but
when
they
would
release
here,
they
wouldn't
get
much
response.
It's
only
when
they
get
the
validation
from
West."
Speaking
about
Serious
Men,
Siddiqui
said,
"Thank
God,
we
got
such
a
great
response,
and
it
connected
with
people,
but
if
it
wouldn't
have,
we
would
have
had
doubts
'yeh
kya
ho
gaya'.
Then
when
it
would
have
got
some
award
in
the
West,
it
would
have
been
termed
good
here
too.
Yeh
cheez
toh
hai,
but
fortunately
it
didn't
happen
with
Serious
Men.
People
are
liking
it
here.
The
validation
is
needed,
especially
from
the
West,
and
it
hasn't
changed."
Nawazuddin
is
known
for
being
cast
in
out-of-the-box
films.
One
just
can't
typecast
him.
Put
him
in
any
role/character,
he
will
make
sure
to
shine
on
the
screen.
When
asked
if
he
has
ever
received
an
offer
from
Hollywood,
he
revealed,
"Offers
do
come,
but
it's
just
not
materialising.
Aisa
nahi
hai
ki
mara
jaa
raha
hoon,
ya
thappa
laega
unka
tab
jaake
actor
kehlaunga.
I
am
not
dependent
on
that,
and
neither
do
I
want
to
be.
I
want
my
films
to
go
to
the
West
and
tell
them
that
we
are
no
less."
Apart
from
Serious
Men,
Nawazuddin
was
also
praised
for
his
work
in
Raat
Akeli
Hai,
which
also
starred
Radhika
Apte
in
the
lead
role.
The
crime-thriller
drama
is
currently
streaming
on
Netflix.
