Will The Pandemic Shake Up Bollywood’s Star System?: www.filmcompanion.in/features/bollywood-features/will-the-pandemic-shake-up-bollywoods-star-system/

Nawazuddin is the gift that keeps on giving. What a humble force to be reckoned with. He has so much untapped potential still! Sirf nawazuddin bachega!

Anupama should not have asked him about his divorce , this conversation was meant to discuss his films and his acting process

Nawazudheen and fahad faasil should do a film together

In short..if outsiders want to be stars, then nepotism will not let them. If you want to become actor, talent will overcome the nepotism barrier.

Everyone should listen to Nawaz about nepotism. Hats off to Nawaz

Omg he was so expressive in this interview... This is the first time I have seen him talking so freely without any inhibitions... Awesome interview.. great job Anupama ma'am

This guy has guts. I love how he described the nepotism debate. Huge respect.

Listen to him very carefully about nepotism and commercial movies. He said if you want to become a hero or a commercial actor, you become butt hurt by this nepotism thing. But those who have talent, they are not running behind commercial movies and fame. This is my thought also. A actor who came to become a star will always have to suffer nepotism but those who come to act only they find their own way. Like nawaz, irfan, radhika, pankaj tripathi and many more. They enjoy their journey of struggle and speak about their struggle without any regret or hatred.

Let the cinema theatres open, then only I will believe something has changed. Dilbar dilbar dilbar remix have more views than AR Rahman, Amit Trivedi songs Nawaz, pankaj, Manoj Bajpayee films get flopped but films which have no story will get 100 crore. No doubt, people outside India call Indian audience dumb af They even managed to fail tumbaad (masterpiece literally) So, don't believe the nameless mob We as humans don't want to believe our own faults, that's why when kangana called out celebrities, they hidden themselves in that. They don't want to believe they should be blamed too. Finally, anupama madam U are a very good interviewer ❤

I have almost seen all his interviews,and this is probably his most fearless, uninhibited and honest interview, where every word has been uttered from heart.

Anupama trying too hard to defend senseless formulaic movies and Nawaz giving back in style.👏👏

This guy is a kick on the face of hypocrisy !

I can hear to this man all day long and never get bored. He's so much clear about what he's thinking,he's doing. 🙂🙂

Take a moment and appreciate Anupama Chopra, how beautifully she asks questions and listens to the interviewee patiently!! Always a joy to see a radiant smile on her face.

The difference between Actor and Hero!

Great response about the wife situation. I did not even know Anupama was going to cross that territory but Nawaz handled it well. Anyways as usual great interview of Nawaz he always has great wisdom to share

He is absolutely right films like that does not need talent

Nawaz is totally at ease when being interviewed by Anupama and vice versa.. they share a beautiful bond. Have always noticed this... Loved the interview!!

Aaaaah! Haven’t seen such positivity in a while, both in the video and the comments!

Always love watching & hearing Nawaz bhai! I still remember seeing him first time on the big screen in the gangs of wasseypur. My friends insisted going for Ek tha tiger when wasseypur 2 was released one week before. One of my best decisions to watch wasseypur instead of tiger. My mind was completely blown by seeing such performance first time in Bollywood. Nawaz + Anurag Kashyap best combo! Raman Raghav, Photograph, lunchbox, etc. one of the finest performances. And looking at his current interviews, it looks like now Nawaz bhai is in full Faizal Khan form. Always eager to see him in any role!! Also, FC- please add timestamps on your interviews.

Nawazuddin did some very deep talk here. A must-listen for all the aspiring actors.

This video is a masterclass on acting and learning how to approach. Must watch for every outsider actors

I love watching this guy✌✌remember his line from old interview with anupama ji actor toh mai tha hi kaam nahi tha mere paas..nailed it..watching him is like masterclass

He is a man of different dimension.

Rohit shetty and Nawaz will never collaborate after this interview

Not just performances, even his interviews are so damn honest. A learning experience. A delight.😍

It’s always fascinating to listen to Nawaz, to learn about his experience and his thought process on the characters that he plays in his films.

We need more actors like him....he is just pure

Nawaz has always been clear about the kind of roles he wants to play on screen. He is not after commercial success, he is in the filmmaking world purely because of his love for acting. He wants to explore avenues that nobody else wants to, so there is more scope for him. Just the way he talks about his acting performances shows how deeply connected he is to his craft. His commitment to acting is beautiful and I cannot wait to see what he does next - especially after coming out of lockdown. I sense he wants to immerse himself into a character in a way that he hasn't done so before. And that will be something new for us as an audience to witness, and I cannot wait for that moment when he returns in front of the camera - ah man, it's gonna be special!

M watching this only for nawaz..coz he is a brilliant artist

His knowledge and skill on his craft is on another level! Unfortunately, this interview couldn’t do justice.

Thank you for asking good questions, not just some “never have I ever” or “what would ask Salman khan” Type shit, I also think I will learn Hindi with this man

There is place in the industry for everyone, yes it is easier for star kids but they have to work hard to prove themselves. Outsiders like Nawaz have to work even harder to make a place in the industry but, with perseverance and hard work one can conquer it like he did. You cannot blame star kids for being born to famous parents. The universe has a lot to offer, some get it more and some less, some have to work harder while some get it easy. The Hindi movie industry is more than 100 years old and it is here to stay no matter what people think today. No one can live without entertainment. Imagine a life without entertainment. Thank you Anupama for this wonderful interview. As always it is a joy to listen to Nawaz.

there is unique beauty about nawaz sir don't know why people not recognize yet.

The best take on Nepotism debate. you are the best Nawaz sir. whenever you speak i could only hear your passion about cinema and Art. So much wisdom

''acting k ilawa sab seekho aap hero ban jaoge'' lollllllllll

On point ✔️ , Honest person and brilliant actor 💯

14:28 Rohit Shetty just left the chat.

From Faizal to Jatil.. you have done brilliant acting.. keep up 👍🏼👍🏼

Overall it was a good interview. Although, personally, I felt very discomforted when a veteran journalist and film-critic like Anupama Chopra asked Nawaz about his separation/estrangement/divorce. Such things should be, typically, left out of the interview in *good faith.*

At 14:40 Nawaz take an indirect jibe at Salman Khan type of Movies 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Finally someone qualified and putting it out there in black and white. Gone are the days of popular cinema. The world is shrinking very fast with internet and OTT platforms. Content matters. YRF, Nadiadwala and similar production houses have a tough challenge in coming years. No room for plagiarism like in 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. Audiences are very selective, critical and appreciative about good cinema.

Just listening to him is a mini masterclass

She was lowkey trying to defend actors with no talent ‘action me bhi kuch toh lagta hai’...lol....absolute state of critics ! Nice to see Nawaz shut her mouth with his reply.Yet you wonder where’s the sensibility when she reviews films ...why is there a soft corner for mediocre performances by certain actors ...where as genuinely good work gets trashed in her reviews...And again she was standing up for the same during the interview 😭😭

Read horrible stuff about this guy But he’s definitely a good actor, one of the best . And always a pleasure to watch anupama Chopra

Last six months , whenever I got time from my busy schedule , I used to watch movies. Once , I Accidentally watched Malayalam Movie , Trance !! I was shocked and surprised at their concept , acting , background music, cinematography and honest story telling !! Then , I Watched some more Malayalam movies subsequently, Bangalore Days, Kumbalangi Nights , Njan Prakasham. Since then , I am wondering why Bollywood can’t make such movies !! I think such scripts and stories demand huge talent from the STAR KIDS (star kids in acting , direction , production, music etc). And those STAR KIDS simply don’t have that talent. And that’s why they make one “Gully Boy” movie in Hindi and praise themselves for their “creativity” and “off beat cinema”!!! Malayalam movies are at least 10-15 years ahead of Bollywood and of Nepotism and Karan Johar do not enter their industry, they will stay blessed. !!

Nawaz is actually struggling right now with his personal life.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is absolutely right and he is spot on when he says that no talent is required for big blockbuster movies such as Dabangg, Wanted, Chennai Express, Singham, Rowdy Rathore, Housefull etc etc. In those films all you have to do is enlarge your own 'EGO' and play the role, and not surrender it and then enact the character.

I wish SSR had heard these words of wisdom. Instead of chasing the validation of YRFs and Dharma

The Moscow example...Nawaz,your sense of humour🤣

I loved the ease with each other, always in all of the interview. Nawab has so much to offer, we need directors to use him appropriately. He seems so much in a hunger.....it’s a very fine interview..... thanks Anupama.

12:35 well said. Huge respect.

Sounded quite pained here! Hope he comes out well through this separation. Always looking forward to his work. Anupama, as usual, you are the best at interviews 🙌

14:53-Nawaz Sir Just Roasted Anupama Mam.

50 crore lelo 😅 Ranveer singh 🤣

Hi Film companion this interview is awesome and informative... But please do English subtitles for Hindi interviews because you have many non Hindi viewers from South.. Thank you

Aaj mere Dil ki sari badhas nawaz sir ne nikal di hai😂😘😘😘😘😘

Anupama ji ka interview.. HUMesha majaidar hota hai.. Jismai koi extra effect nahi hota..i seen many interview of nawaz sir.. Whose anchor is Anupama ji.. I really like it

LOL...one punch n 5 men goes flying...#NawazuddinSiddiqui :))

Loved this interview. Thank you Anupama Chopra.

मैं "रात अकेली" देखने थियेटर नहीं जाता पर ott platform पर रिलीज़ हुई इसलिए देख लिया। बहुत ही अच्छी लगी। नवाज़ जैसे "Talents" के लिए OTT प्लेटफार्म फायदे की चीज़ है, problem तो सलमान खान जैसे लोगों को होगी।😂😂

Such an insightful interview. Really loved this ❤️

versatile actor......great interview

Nawasudhin sidhique and fahadh faasil two powerhouses of talent 🔥

"Mainstream films (formula films) where talent is not required which any one can do. Need everything but acting talent " . Very dareing statement to maje make

Anupama g is sooooo cute she looks a great human and too much patience, I love her voice

Can you please add subtitles to this

Completely agree with Nawaz on this

Anupama trying hard to protect nepo kids by saying they have Persona and all but nawaz giving it back🔥🤣👌

Learn everything except acting and become hero😝

He is saying formula films in Bollywood dont need acting talents and they depend on stunt actors. I think even Hollywood films like Avengers, Fast and Furious dont need acting talents. They depend on graphics, big scale destruction and fight sequences.. So it applies everywhere. its more about what entertains people more..

His response to the divorce question tells one the kind of person he is....no matter what their personal issues I respect him for not airing dirty laundry.

Theater or Ott , box office collections matter for the So called stars

He is such a joy to watch and listen to 🙏🙏

Everything nawaz said is so true

Anupama, drop it. The mainstream bollywood is garbage. Persona, my foot. After 4 hours of gym and 1 hour of saloon, even Hardy Sandhu gets a persona. Will he be cast too in the films as the lead?

Anupama will only agree to those points which are in favour of Bollywood and Star kids... Otherwise she tries hard to change the opinion of the person

Great actor, great human being

"Social distancing 2 2- 3 3 kilometer ki hai" hilarious! 😂😂

Now Compare the views of this interview with Jhanvi's interview or any other Star kid for that matter ....Aur fir log Nepotism ke liye badi asani se DIRECTORS, PRODUCERS ko blame kar dete hain. HYPOCRITES And Anupama maam u were lovely as usual 🌼

Nawaz is like an encyclopedia for upcoming actors, I really hope he does something like masterclass.

How very insdightful! s it just me or does Nawazuddin Siddiqi sound a little different when he is in his village? Less diplomatic, more truthful?

Truth spoken by Nawaz bhaii about the industry 👏

"You do NOT need TALENT to make a formula film? Nawaz, then why couldn't you make FREAKY ALI a hit? Why is there a need to RUN down Commercial Cinema just because you do a bunch of small films?

finally someone being honest

Nawaz is Nawaz 😀🙏

Thank you for this interview. I have learnt many things from this interview

Plz make more interviews with him

He is so smart and so on point. If you know your strength you should look for a team who will know how to use your skill and collaborate.

There's so much honesty in what he talks about & the way he talks about 🙌 respect

this is what good education brings to a mans mind clarity and open mindness about everything and only few actors in bollywood has that grey matter irfan had it, om puri had it, Naseeruddin shah, kay kay menon,amrish puri, randeep hooda,pankaj tripathy,richa chadha, radhika apte,timangshu dhulia, manoj bajpai even shah rukh khan i must although he makes commerical movies.. Rest i can't say much

Please provide subtitles , I m huge fan of him

Saw a movie called 'raat akeli hai' on Netflix......nawaz is in the main lead.....he completely stole the show.... I'd recommend it any day .....i feel it just passed by largely unnoticed by people

9:00 highly successful ppl visualise their success before doing. Same I heard from Rashid khan interviews

Nawaz is right in his own way anyway this whole thing regarding parallel art house and mainstream talented non talented debate is useless , present era commercial movies are routine but back in '60s or '70s there was thought process behind successful commercial cinema be it manmohan desai or yash chopra or subhash ghai ,and why need to copy serious cinema culture and theme from great movie making nations and criticize so called bollywood culture specially at this age when even mainstream movies are following content based trend, in hindi cinema content based great movies were right there from '50s and capable movies always go to various festivals and win awards and always have support from critics and separate intellectual audience base which has expanded a lot in the present era , this cinema is great in its own accord no need to belittle mainstream, and no one is ultimate actor no actor can fit in all kind of roles , yes great actors have a vast range , a good actor stands out even in a so called mediocre movie even that has its own audience and if in reality a hero does not know acting then the audience will never accept him whatever charisma he has, only when public start identifying with him , only when his acting , his mannerisms convince them , his dialogue delivery mesmerize them only then a hero becomes successful and its no easy job to face the camera and do one's stunt by oneself ,some people like 'Lawrence of Arabia' ,some people like 'Titanic' ,some people like 'Rambo' , kids like 'spiderman' or 'Jumaanji' or 'Mr. Bean' or 'Mr.India' , each one of them required different kind of skills and technique so snobbery should be avoided that only this is good and this is bad ,it has become a trend to criticize and it is making an institution in itself , take extreme B Grade movies there division is applicable

Just to add a point on the 'star system', this era is well and truly over - and I think it needs to be. The adulation and hysteria surrounding certain actors/actresses will die out because we've learnt to consume content in a more accessible way, so the allure that the star system has cannot sustain itself. I think that formulaic style of filmmaking will turn into a fantasy genre, but by large - hopefully - we will get to watch more interesting genres where the film is driven by the story and not the "hero". Hero bechara Zero ho gaya!

Very intelligent actor ❤️

Nawaj bhai u nailed it

Nawaz is more talented than all the A listers .👍
