He then highlighted an incident when a TV show refused to cast him. He said, “Aap log dikhte nhi ho like actors', 'You are unconventional', what else can be harsh than this? When I used to ask for work in TV shows, they used to tell me 'We cannot cast you because it will take more time. We'll have to put on extra lights, whereas we have to send one episode every day. If we cast you, it will take 1.5 days, we'll face losses. Better you find somebody else”.

“But finally, it took me 9-10 years. There came directors who were making realistic movies. Those films never used to work here, but they used to get appreciation at film festivals. That's when commercial filmmakers thought of us as authentic and decided to cast us. They made films with us. That's how I got acceptance," he concluded.

Over the years, Nawazuddin has been a part of movies like Gangs of Wasseypur, The Lunchbox, Manto and more. He is currently awaiting the release of his film Heropanti 2 which also stars Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria.
