Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who has A-listers of Bollywood wishing to work with him, says he does not want to think about the prominence of big stars like Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan as he considers them as colleagues when he is performing.
Nawazuddin, who worked with Salman in “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” has just completed his first schedule with Shahrukh Khan for “Raees”, in which he plays a policeman.
“When I am on set, Shahrukh and Salman are co actors for me. If I start thinking I am working with Salman then as an actor, I would not be able to improvise the character I am playing. During shooting, I do not want to think about with whom I am working as it will corrupt my performance,” he told media as ge shared his experience of working with both the Khans.
The 49-year-old actor, who is riding on the success of his last outing “Manjhi: The Mountain Man”, will be seen with megastar Amitabh Bachchan in Sujoy Ghosh’s next.
“I think as an actor my work is to give the best performance. If I continue to think about Shahrukh and Salman as stars then I am not showing the proper respect to their characters as well as mine. You should be honest at your work,” he added.

Well said
not a wise public statement (personal opinion).
His journey from blink and miss appearance to one of the most respected actors in Bollywood has been amazing.It’s a wonderful phase for Bollywood where great actors like Nawaz,Irrfan,Manoj are getting their dues.They are getting to work with some of the biggest superstars and getting performance based characters giving them ample scope to exhibit their talents.
Eagerly waiting for Raees where we would get to see two of the finest actors of current era coming together for an epic classic
the only reason of watching raees is nawaz .
otherwise only #sultaneid2016
Waiting for Sultan,Raees and Azhar Biopic next yr in 2016 .
Very honest words..keep up the good work nawaz bhai
Nawazuddin Siddiqui completely overshadow salman in BB
Such a humble gentleman
#respect
He talks like srk
That’s correct. One should not blown away with the super stardom of any A-list actors. Though Nawaz worked with A-list actors, but he never let them overshadow himself. He was perfectly fine in Talaash, Kick and was the centre of attraction in Bajrangi Bhaijan.

He said this once in an interview.
After this statement many people will start to hate him ! He should have respected Salman Khan and Shah Ruk Khan
nawaj is ausm… huge craze around him …
since kick he is nw fully mainstream…. n public loves him they shout n whistle fr his dilogs….
Must be awful for him when working with SRK who always overacts…!
Nawaz bhaijaan is a solid performer/ great actor- he can do better than working with overactor in Baadshah Rice Smuggler…!
yea, you are right. But when your off screen, its better to say sallman the megastar, aamir the living lengend, srk the superstar
Great Actor!
nawazuddine is infinite times Better than Abhisek Bachhan(sorry @eric)
Nawasuddin siddiqui is great actor and very down to earth personality. He is really a self made actor and with lot of struggles he truly deserves every credit and has earned his own name in the industry. I am sure he will overshadow srk in raees.
