And this is Nawazuddin Siddiqui, playing a character inspired by Nawab in the recent Salman Khan blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
In a recent interview with Gulf News, Nawab said, "I am very thankful to Salman bhai, who considered my character worthy enough to be given a role in his movie."
But he also added, “I am a poor journalist and don’t want to deal with the legalities, but I expect Khan to give me a compensation for using me as an inspiration for a character."
“This movie could be a new beginning for my career,” Nawab said wistfully.
