Ishaan Khatter debuts at Cannes 2023 in Neeraj Ghaywan's 'Homebound.' Celebrating this milestone, Khatter praises Ghaywan’s remarkable storytelling, marking a promising chapter for Indian cinema.

Ishaan Khatter's Cannes Debut with 'Homebound'

Ishaan Khatter debuts at Cannes with 'Homebound,' directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. Highlighting his admiration since 'Masaan,' Khatter celebrates this milestone, positioning Indian cinema on the world stage.

<p>Ishaan Khatter debuts at Cannes Film Festival with Neeraj Ghaywan's 'Homebound,' highlighting his admiration for the director and a significant moment in their careers.</p>

<p>Actor Ishaan Khatter says he has been an admirer of Neeraj Ghaywan since he saw "Masaan" a decade ago and it feels special to finally collaborate with the director on his second film "Homebound", which will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.</p>
<p>Ghaywan's film will premiere in the Uncertain Regard category at Cannes in May this year. The filmmaker's much-acclaimed 2015 debut feature film "Masaan" was also selected in the same category Khatter, who stars in the movie alongside Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa, said working on the movie has been one of the most "special experiences" of his career.</p>
<p>"It is my first time on the Cannes red carpet and, as I prayed, with my own film," the actor told PTI in an interview.</p>
<p>"No praise is enough for the kind of leader and the kind of man that Neeraj is, and inevitably, the kind of filmmaker that he is. He's very, very special. He has a spine that not many people can boast of," he added.</p>
<p>Khatter said he has always been a fan of Ghaywan's work and wanted to work with him since he first saw "Masaan" in a theatre 10 years ago.</p>
<p>"So it was a very beautiful full circle moment for me, just to be able to work with him," he added.</p>
<p>When he met Ghaywan for the first time for "Homebound", Khatter said he made a promise to the filmmaker. "I shared that I'm 100% committed if I'm there and I will give you my all if I feel connected to the film and the script. I won't be disingenuous about it, and just because I want to work with you, jump into it," Khatter, who will next be seen in Netflix's romantic series "The Royals", said.</p>
<p>Also known for his roles in "Dhadak" and Hollywood drama "The Perfect Couple", Khatter said when he read the script, he realised that one rarely gets to see such films.</p>
<p>"I think it's Ghaywan's second Cannes selection. He has just made two films and they both were selected for Cannes so it's a testament to the fact that he's a very high caliber filmmaker. But he's a humanist at heart, and that's why his films are so special," Khatter added.</p>
<p>The Un Certain Regard segment recognises the first and second films of promising filmmakers.</p>
<p>Cinephiles in India are looking forward to the Cannes premiere of "Homebound", which comes a year after Payal Kapadia's "All We Imagine As Light" became the first Indian film to win the Grand Prix, the second most prestigious prize in Cannes Competition section.</p>

Nawazuddin Siddiqui Stars in 'Costao' on ZEE5

'Costao,' featuring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, delves into the world of gold smuggling in 1990s Goa. Streaming on ZEE5 from May 1, discover this intense drama directed by Sejal Shah.

<p>'Costao,' starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, explores gold smuggling and personal challenges in 1990s Goa. Directed by Sejal Shah, the film debuts on ZEE5 on May 1, promising thrills and drama.</p>

<p>Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for films such as &ldquo;Gangs of Wasseypur&rdquo;, &ldquo;Badlapur&rdquo;, &ldquo;Kick&rdquo;, &ldquo;Bajrangi Bhaijaan&rdquo; and web series &ldquo;Sacred Games&rdquo;, stars as a fearless customs officer in his upcoming film &ldquo;Costao&rdquo;.</p>
<p>The story, based on Costao Fernandes&rsquo; life, is set in the 1990s Goa and revolves around Siddiqui&rsquo;s Costao who took on gold smugglers and corruption despite personal setbacks. It is set to premiere on ZEE5 on May 1.</p>
<p>Directed by debutant Sejal Shah, the movie also stars - Priya Bapat, Kishore Kumar G, Gagan Dev Riar &amp; Hussain Dalal.</p>
<p>&ldquo;&rsquo;Costao&rsquo; is not just a story about a customs officer fighting against a ruthless smuggling empire-it's about the cost of standing up to an entire system built on corruption and betrayal... Costao&rsquo;s courage in the face of unbeatable odds reflects this perfectly. His battle is not only against criminals but against a system that tries to break him at every turn. I can&rsquo;t wait for viewers to experience the explosive twists, raw emotion, and relentless intensity that Costao brings,&rdquo; Siddiqui said in a statement. Produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Bhavesh Mandalia, Sejal Shah, Shyam Sunder &amp; Faizuddin Siddiqui and written by Bhavesh Mandalia &amp; Meghna Srivastava, Costao is an unmissable story.</p>
<p>"We've always loved creating untold stories that are as interesting as they are unique, and Costao is the perfect example of that. With Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead, you know you're in for something special. His performance as Costao is pure magic-raw, intense, and layered in a way that will keep you hooked from the very first second. After Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, we felt Costao deserved a platform like Zee5 for the story to reach the right audience,&rdquo; Bhanushali said.</p>
<p>A ZEE5 spokesperson called the film a strong addition to the streamer&rsquo;s expanding original film slate.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Our collaboration with the makers reflects a shared vision for delivering powerful narratives that go beyond the expected. As we continue to focus on differentiated storytelling, we are proud to back films like Costao that leave a deep and lasting impression on viewers.&rdquo; Shah described the film both a &ldquo;challenge and a privilege&rdquo;.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t have asked for a better actor than Nawazuddin Siddiqui to play Costao. He brings an unmatched authenticity and complexity to the character. ZEE5 has always backed bold, powerful storytelling, and I&rsquo;m excited to collaborate with them. I can't wait for audiences to experience Costao&mdash;a story that deserves to be told."</p>

Salman Khan confronts challenges as his recent films falter. Observers note age and choices impact his stardom. Can nostalgia inspire his resurgence?

Bollywood Star Salman Khan's Career Challenges

Bollywood icon Salman Khan experiences a career phase with recent cinematic underperformance. Exploring age, decision-making, and nostalgic hopes for rejuvenation.

<p>Bollywood's Salman Khan sees box-office slips. Observers discuss age, choices, and persona nuances. Can re-release nostalgia reignite his charm?</p>

<p>He is the indisputable king of Bollywood. His films are synonymous with humongous box office success and bringing sheer joy to the millions of fans across India and overseas. Even a few years back, residents of the Galaxy apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, were familiar with the sight of the spectacle of euphoric fans after the release of his movie. However, recently, even those vibrant celebrations seem to be hiding a deep sorrow since his &nbsp;recent films have repeatedly bombed at the box office!</p>
<p>Although the excitement among the fans hasn&rsquo;t diminished entirely, but, they seem to be somewhat conflicted. What has happened to their emperor? What has happened to their beloved 'Bhaijaan'? &nbsp;</p>
<p>The questions are simple, but the answers are elusive! His latest 'Eid release', 'Sikandar', has turned into a source of mockery across the social media platforms! The master is aged. But, can THE Salman Khan be aged? Industry insiders say age might be affecting Salman Khan's natural acting instincts. But, is this the only reason behind the recent failure of some of his expensive endeavors? Let us delve deeper into the current scenarios which have been revolving around the megastar!&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to some, Salman Khan should either quit or take a few months or years off before working with the right director and script once more to produce movies like 'Dabangg' or 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'.</p>
<p>However, That's just a surface level explanation! It requires diligence ( which Salman Khan has always had ) as well as- especially for a massive star like him, who has been acting as a protagonist in Bollywood for over three decades- the strength to make the right decisions at the right time (about which even his biggest fans might have doubts) to cope with such situation. But, where is your gigantic enthusiasm, Mr. Khan? That clearly fell short in the recent movies!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Salman Khan appears to have transitioned from an actor to a hero to a megastar to the undisputed 'Bhaijaan', according to those who have followed him closely over the years. He probably feels that the portrayal of 'Bhaijaan' (On and off screen, in every true sense ) is far more significant than any other role he is playing! Some of his most recent films, 'Radhe', 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', and 'Sikandar', demonstrate just how true this is!&nbsp;</p>
<p>One aspect of these films is that his character somehow makes an appearance in every scene. Even if he isn't present in a particular scene, the other characters seem to have compelled to maintain his presence through their gestures! The fact that the other actors seem to be competing with one another in every scene to win over 'Bhaijaan' is a more serious and dangerous worry, albeit!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stars and megastars have always had an impact on mainstream Hindi cinema. Even though the main reason people go to the movies is to see their favorite celebrities, it is irrefutable that the star's importance frequently outbalances that of the character they play. But, the question remains. To what extent, though? To the stretch that the celebrity himself is unable to control his own image?</p>
<p>In December 2025, Salman Khan will celebrate his 60th birthday. Everyone is aware that aging will show on his face in films, and hardly any amount of technical skill can camouflage that. The fact that Salman Khan has never been hailed as one of Bollywood's best actors may also be easy to accept.</p>
<p>But despite all of this, he has an unquestionably huge on-screen persona and a special way of enthralling audiences with his dancing&nbsp; ( remember his unorthodox moves in "Munni Badnam Hui"!) or dialogues (&ldquo;Mujhpe ek ehsaan karna, mujhpe koi ehsaan mat karna" or "Mere Baare Me Itna Mat Sochna&hellip; Dil Me Aata Hun Samajh Me Nahi&rdquo; or &ldquo;Hum tum mein itne ched karenge ki confuse ho jaoge ki saans kahan se le aur p**in kahan se.")- that personifies his effortless charisma- leading even his most eager critics to applaud!</p>
<p>Are those days really over? The fans' favourite 'Bhaijaan' and Bollywood's cherished 'Prem' seem to have become only a shadow of his former selves. Is he able to return? Salman Khan's past inspires hope that he will return! But without a fundamental shift (as much as possible for 'Bhaijaan'! At least if he understands that things can't go on like this, &nbsp;that something has to change and that what is happening cannot continue, then there&rsquo;s a chance!) his battle will be extremely difficult in the absence of strong scripts and direction. It will be interesting to see how well he manages to overcome these challenges despite having some real turbulances in his personal life, too. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The good news is that the movie 'Andaz Apna Apna', which was first released thirty years ago, will be re-released on April 25. Salman Khan and Aamir Khan's comedy classic has already earned the title of 'cult film.'</p>
<p>Given that thirty years ago Salman Khan wasn't 'Bhaijaan' and lacked that swagger, I am not sure how much the current bunch of fans of 'Bhaijaan' will enjoy watching the modest Salman Khan dance to "Yeh Raat Aur Ye Doori" with those hopeful, dreamy eyes from the 1990s. Yet, it's safe to say that many people who long for that era will become a little more nostalgic and fall in love with the lead character in 'Maine Pyar Kiya' after seeing 'Andaz Apna Apna' on the big screen once again.</p>

Akshay Kumar addresses Jaya Bachchan's criticism of his film Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Despite the title's disapproval, the film is known for its social message. Akshay focuses on his new project, Kesari: Chapter 2, releasing April 18.

Akshay Kumar on Jaya Bachchan's Criticism of Film

Akshay Kumar graciously responds to Jaya Bachchan's critique of Toilet: Ek Prem Katha's title. As anticipation builds for Kesari: Chapter 2's release on April 18, Kumar remains focused on delivering impactful narratives.

<p>Akshay Kumar addressed Jaya Bachchan's criticism of his film's title with grace. Despite her comments, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is celebrated for its social message. The upcoming Kesari: Chapter 2 promises a gripping portrayal of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.</p>

<p>At a recent press meet for his upcoming film Kesari: Chapter 2 in Mumbai, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar addressed some unexpected criticism from veteran actress Jaya Bachchan regarding his previous film, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha.</p>
<p>When a journalist mentioned that Jaya Bachchan had disapproved of the film's title, Akshay responded with characteristic grace, saying, "If she has said so, she is right. If I had made a mistake by making such a film, she might be right."</p>
<p>Jaya Bachchan's comments came during her recent appearance at the India TV Conclave. She questioned the film's title, expressing strong reservations and even indirectly labeling it a "flop." Bachchan commented, "Just look at the title of the film; I would never go to watch a film with such a name. Yeh, koi naam hai? [Is that really a name?]" She then engaged the audience, asking how many would watch a film with such a title, noting with a touch of humor that only a few hands were raised: "Among so many people, hardly four want to watch the film; it's very sad. Yeh toh flop hai. [It is a flop.]"</p>
<p>Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, despite its unusual title, is renowned for its quirky love story packed with a strong social message. The film narrates the story of Keshav (Akshay Kumar), a small-town man who struggles to win back his wife Jaya (Bhumi Pednekar) after she leaves him due to the absence of a toilet in their home.</p>
<p>The film highlights Keshav's fight against outdated traditions and societal norms to build a toilet.</p>
<p>Aside from Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar, the film also features prominent actors such as Anupam Kher, Divyenndu, Sudhir Pandey, and Ayesha Raza Mishra.</p>
<p>Turning to Akshay Kumar's upcoming project, Kesari: Chapter 2, the film draws inspiration from Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat's book, The Case That Shook The Empire.</p>
<p>It delves into the untold story of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, focusing on the pursuit of justice led by C Sankaran Nair, a distinguished lawyer and former President of the Indian National Congress.</p>
<p>Kesari: Chapter 2 is scheduled for release on April 18, promising a gripping depiction of a pivotal moment in India's struggle for independence.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While promoting his upcoming film Ground Zero, Emraan shared that he was aware of the controversy surrounding Allahbadia during the India's Got Latent episode. Ranveer had faced criticism after making a joke about parental sex on the show hosted by Samay Raina. Addressing it, Ranveer said, "I don't know if you're familiar with what happened in my life in the last 2-3 months." To this, Emraan replied, "Everyone knows it."</p>
<p>Speaking from his own experience, Emraan said, "When your chips are down, you really find out who your true friends are. Everyone else quietly slips away. And then you&rsquo;re left with the people who truly matter. They are the ones who support you when you&rsquo;re down. Those are your real friends."</p>
<p>He also highlighted the superficial nature of relationships in the film industry, noting how the term 'friend' is often misused. "The people you party with, who come into your life just to get something from you&mdash;those are need-based relationships, not real friendships. That&rsquo;s also part of the glamour," he said.</p>
<p>Reflecting on his own low point in the industry, Emraan spoke about the phase when some of his films failed to perform at the box office. "I&rsquo;ve been fortunate to ride a successful wave in my career. But around 2018&ndash;2019, when a few of my films didn&rsquo;t work at the box office - that was probably the lowest point for me. Cheat India and The Body, for instance. I&rsquo;ve seen how the industry serenades you during your high points. At one point, I couldn&rsquo;t even stand in my living room - it was filled with flowers and gifts on my birthday. But when the tables turn after just one Friday, all of that stops."</p>
<p>He went on to reflect on how fame can distort perceptions of love and loyalty. "You become a commodity. You start confusing that attention with love. But the truth is - they don&rsquo;t actually love you. You&rsquo;re just a means to their end. You are merely a return on the investment they make."</p>
<p>Emraan Hashmi is currently preparing for the release of Ground Zero, directed by Tejas Vijay Deoskar and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under Excel Entertainment. Set against the backdrop of conflict-torn Kashmir, the film is slated to hit theatres on April 25.</p>

'Killbill Society', directed by Srijit Mukherji and inspired by Angelina Jolie's life, explores depression and hope. Releasing April 11.

'Killbill Society': Srijit Mukherji's Latest Film

Discover 'Killbill Society', Srijit Mukherji's new film inspired by Angelina Jolie's story. Themes of depression and resilience take center stage. Starring Parambrata Chatterjee, releasing April 11.

<p>Srijit Mukherji's 'Killbill Society' explores themes of depression, inspired by Angelina Jolie's real-life story, releasing on April 11.</p>

<p>Ahead of the release of his next film 'Killbill Society', director Srijit Mukherji said he hopes the movie motivates people to fight depression and ward off suicidal instincts.</p>
<p>The National Award-winning filmmaker, who has dwelt on a wide range of subjects in his projects and explored different formats, said he got the idea of 'Killbill Society' from an incident involving celebrated Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie's life, when she had hired a hitman to kill herself at the age of 19.</p>
<p>Mukherji said the film is a sequel to his 2012 hit &lsquo;Hemlock Society&rsquo;.</p>
<p>"We had always planned to have a sequel, but waited for the right storyline. Then, we came across this real-life incident involving Angelina Jolie's life. She wanted it to look like a shootout for her family, as she could not die by suicide. But, the contract killer asked her to think over the plan and she eventually changed her mind,&rdquo; Mukherji told PTI.</p>
<p>&ldquo;If we had imagined a narrative along this line on our own, we would have been blamed of having been struck by a quirky concept. Since it was a real-life incident involving a megastar's life at an early stage, there is the element of believability in the plot," he said.</p>
<p>Actor-director Parambrata Chatterjee is in the lead role in 'Killbill Society', which releases in theatres on April 11.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I make films that I want to. I follow my own terms. Now, once it is released, it is in the domain of the audience. I hope &lsquo;Killbill Society&rsquo; will strike a chord with the audience like &lsquo;Hemlock Society&rsquo;,&rdquo; the &lsquo;Shotyi Bole Shotyi Kichhu Nei&rsquo; director said.</p>

Deepika Padukone, at the WAVES Summit, shares her transition from modeling to acclaimed actress, praised by Shah Rukh Khan for her career and future motherhood with Ranveer Singh.

Deepika Padukone at WAVES: Journey to Success

Deepika Padukone shares her journey from outsider to industry icon at the WAVES Summit, with Shah Rukh Khan lauding her role as a mother. A celebration of her remarkable journey in entertainment.

<p>Deepika Padukone discusses her journey from modeling to film at the WAVES Summit. She embraces life's trials and is praised by Shah Rukh Khan for her future role as a mother.</p>

<p>As someone who moved to Mumbai when she was just 18, Bollywood star Deepika Padukone says she has done quite well for herself by creating a space in the world of entertainment.</p>
<p>The 39-year-old actor joined superstar Shah Rukh Khan for a session titled "The Journey: From Outsider To Ruler" at the inaugural WAVES Summit on Thursday here.</p>
<p>"Today when I look back at the journey... For an 18-year-old to move to a big city... It was a big decision to make. Those little things, having to navigate life with trial and error. Overall, when I look back I say, Not bad, well done.</p>
<p>"I am actually going to tell myself I have done pretty well. You don't really sit back and look at the journey. I don't celebrate the moments too much. I look at things in a straightforward way," said Deepika, who started out as a model before making her acting debut with 2007's "Om Shanti Om" opposite Shah Rukh.</p>
<p>In her "me time", the "Padmaavat" star said she focuses on everyday things like running her house.</p>
<p>"There's a study where all the mail comes... I sort out all of it... Cleaning the kitchen, checking vegetable stock for the week, laundry... I don't know any other way. Maybe because I started out this way. I didn't have a big house earlier. I didn't have house help," she added.</p>
<p>Shah Rukh, who also starred with Deepika in movies such as "Happy New Year", "Chennai Express", "Pathaan," and "Jawan," praised the actor, saying she will be a great mother to Dua, her daughter with actor-husband Ranveer Singh.</p>
<p>"The role she is going to play the best is that of a mother to Dua. She is really going to be a wonderful mom," he said.</p>
<p>Deepika called the inaugural World Audiovisual &amp; Entertainment Summit (WAVES) "a timely event."</p>
<p>"The way this has come together, it was high time. India being the center of it (cinema and entertainment) is the right time. It's the coming together of AI, tech, and storytelling," she added.</p>
<p>WAVES will integrate films, OTT, gaming, comics, digital media, AI, AVGC-XR, broadcasting, and emerging tech, and seek to present itself as a comprehensive showcase of India's media and entertainment prowess.</p>
<p>The summit, being held at the Jio World Convention Centre, aims to unlock a USD 50 billion market by 2029, expanding India's footprint in the global entertainment economy.</p>

SRK advocates for more theatres and lower ticket prices at WAVES, highlighting cinema accessibility. Reflects on career growth with industry insights.

Shah Rukh Khan on Theatres and Ticket Pricing

SRK champions theatre expansion and affordability at WAVES summit, enhancing cinema reach. Discussing personal growth, he advocates for easier global filming processes in India.

<p>In addition to sharing his personal career reflections and highlighting improved film accessibility throughout India, Shah Rukh Khan calls for more theaters and more reasonable ticket prices at the WAVES summit.</p>

<p>When he is not working, he is in a meditative state, superstar Shah Rukh Khan said on Thursday at the inaugural day of the WAVES summit here.</p>
<p>Addressing a session on 'The Journey: From Outsider to Ruler' at the event, which is billed as a platform to position India as a global hub for media, he also batted for more theaters and less expensive tickets in India.</p>
<p>"I still believe the call of the day is a lot more theaters, small theaters in small towns, and cheaper theaters so that we can show more films to people in every corner of the country," Shah Rukh said.</p>
<p>He expressed the hope that with the WAVES summit, shooting processes should become easier "not only for Indians but also for people coming from outside."</p>
<p>"I don't indulge in overworking or overthinking. When I am not on the sets, I don't do anything. I am in a meditative state," the superstar said in a fireside chat with director friend Karan Johar and Deepika Padukone, his co-star on many movies. The actor, one of the biggest superstars in Hindi cinema, said when he was young, he was "brash" but also gutsy.</p>
<p>"I believe I was brash, overconfident, reckless, and a lot more stupid. I'm happy I was like this; otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen the path I did with such wonderful people. I was a little gutsy also. Thank you, young Shah Rukh Khan, for being so cool," he said.</p>

Explore the unique philosophy of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who values blending into roles and life. His commitment to authenticity shines through in his diverse filmography, challenging the typical actor's desire for fame.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Master of Subtlety

Discover Nawazuddin Siddiqui's unique approach to acting and life. Renowned for his versatility in Hindi cinema, he embodies roles that celebrate authenticity, challenging the norm of seeking stardom.

<p>Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for blending into roles, cherishes anonymity. Portraying complex, real characters fulfills his quest for continual growth. His latest projects highlight his ongoing commitment to authentic storytelling.</p>

<p>Nawazuddin Siddiqui, one of Hindi cinema's most versatile actors, is renowned not just for his ability to embody diverse characters but for his desire to merge into the backdrop, much like the mythical invisibility cloak from the Harry Potter series. Unlike most movie stars, Siddiqui revels in the anonymity of the crowd, a quality he cherishes both on and off-screen.</p>
<p>In a candid interview with PTI, Siddiqui shared, "It's very difficult for me to make myself presentable and stand out. But I feel very good that I am sitting in a corner and no one is looking at me... rather, I'm observing others. I feel the world is a 70mm film, and I'm watching it."</p>
<p>From his humble beginnings in Budhana, Muzaffarnagar, to the esteemed corridors of Delhi's National School of Drama, and finally to the bustling streets of Mumbai, Siddiqui&rsquo;s journey is the stuff of dreams. He migrated from a life spent watching C-grade films in his hometown to being introduced to world cinema at drama school, bypassing mainstream Bollywood in the process.</p>
<p>Now 50, Siddiqui approaches each role as a fresh challenge. His latest venture on ZEE5 sees him portraying Costao Fernandes, a former customs officer with a story rooted in reality. However, if Siddiqui had to choose one of his roles as a travel companion, it would be the unassuming tourist photographer from Ritesh Batra's "Photograph". "I like such characters who get lost in the crowd," he explained.</p>
<p>This philosophy runs counter to the typical actor's ambition of being noticed. "I don't want it. My aim is to not stand out even in real life," Siddiqui stated, a sentiment echoed by his colleague Manoj Bajpayee, who notes Siddiqui&rsquo;s ability to blend seamlessly into crowds.</p>
<p>Siddiqui has tackled a diverse range of roles, portraying characters across the moral spectrum. From the controversial to the revered, his performances in "Manto", "Thackeray", and "Raman Raghav 2.0" speak to his commitment to complex narratives. "I don't want to be fixed in a certain kind of image," he said. "The characters which are close to real people are more fun to do."</p>
<p>His ability to flit between roles and personas keeps the craft exciting. "If I keep repeating myself, I will get bored. As an actor, you should be prepared for an exam every day."</p>
<p>While he has participated in numerous biopics, Siddiqui finds portraying real-life figures particularly challenging. His dedication to immersing himself in these roles often blurs the line between the actor and the person he's portraying, as evidenced by his performance as Costao Fernandes, which drew praise for its authenticity.</p>
<p>Despite his acclaim, Siddiqui finds the concept of success elusive. To him, success is defined by the ability to continually discover and reinvent himself through his roles. "If I execute a scene properly, that's success for me on that day."</p>
<p>Siddiqui's future slate is as busy as ever with projects like "Raat Akeli Hai 2", "Section 108", "Faraar", and "Thama". Fans can also look forward to his return to long-format storytelling in the Indian adaptation of "House" following his ventures "McMafia" and "Sacred Games".</p>
<p>With his latest release "Costao", debuting on May 1, Siddiqui continues to prove that blending in can be just as powerful as standing out.</p>
