Nawazuddin: Kick script inspired me

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who will be seen in Kick alongside Salman Khan, says he is not doing a blink-and-you-miss-it role in the film.

Siddiqui has appeared in films such as Sarfarosh, Talaash and others. Now he will be seen in the larger movie Kick.

“It is not that I will do a blink-and-you-miss-it role in a big commercial film of A-list actors. The story [of Kick] is good, hence I agreed to do it. The story is superb. The script inspired me to do the film,” Siddiqui said.

“I am not against all commercial films, I am against illogical films. All commercial films are not illogical. Like 3 Idiots was a commercial film and had a very good story,” he said.

With Khan and the type of films he does, the entire focus is on him rather than other actors. But, Siddiqui does not feel so.

“The character that I have been offered is really good, it has logic to whatever he does. As an actor I must explore myself in every genre,” he said.

There is buzz that he is playing a negative role. When asked about it, Siddiqui, who is yet to start shooting for the film, declined to reveal anything.

But the actor said he would continue playing supporting roles in films that have established actors and do lead roles in relatively newer director’s film.

“I try to balance things this way. For me the character and story inspire me to do a film. If I connect with it then I do it, that is my criteria to do a film. I don’t think about the result of the film and the length of the role,” Siddiqui said.
