For the past few years, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been climbing the ladder of success with every single film. With his amazing acting skills, the actor has made many fans online wonder whether the era of only 'Khans' in Bollywood has come to an end. On Arbaaz Khan's Quick Heal Pinch show, the Thackeray actor was asked to react to a fan's comment which said that he (Nawaz) has left all Bollywood Khans behind (referring to Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan), to which he said, "Bhai mujhe kaam karne do (Brother, let me work)". Earlier, in an interview with a news channel, Nawazuddin Siddiqui also backed the Khans on the same saying, "Ek picture flop ho gayi toh thodi na Khan ka zamana chala gaya (one film did not work well at the box office does not mean the era of Khans has ended)". The previous films of the three Khans, Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero, Salman Khan’s Race 3, and Aamir Khan’s Thugs Of Hindostan did not do commercially well at the box office. The three films were equally bashed by critics and the audience as well. However, Nazauddin has been seen acting with the three Khans in various films. Here is a list of these works.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Shah Rukh Khan
Nawazuddin Siddiqui was seen in action-crime thriller Raees (2017) alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Nawaz played the role of an honest police officer named Jaideep Ambalal Majumdar. Majumdar is consistently in search of an opportunity to arrest Raees (played by Shah Rukh Khan), who is into an illegal business in Gujarat. With his money and intelligence, Raees consistently finds ways to avert Majumdar and continues off with his trade.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Salman Khan
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has worked with Salman Khan in Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) and Kick (2014), both of which were blockbusters at the box office. Bajrangi Bhaijaan was an adventure-drama film written and directed by Kabir Khan. Salman played the role of Pawan, a devout Hindu Brahmin and a devotee of Lord Hanumana, whereas Nawazuddin was seen playing Chand Nawab, a journalist who works for a Pakistani television channel. Kick was a 2014 action-comedy film produced and directed by Sajid Nadiadwala. It was an official remake of the 2009 Telugu film of the same name. The film starred Salman Khan (Devi Lal Singh), Jacqueline Fernandez (Shaina), Nawazuddin Siddiqui (Shiv Gajra), and Randeep Hooda (Himanshu Tyagi) in lead roles. Salman was seen as Jacqueline’s ex-boyfriend whereas Nawaz played a corrupt businessman.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, however, have not been spotted together in recent times, but the two have worked in Talaash (2012), Bombay Talkies (2013), and Sarfarosh (1999). Interestingly, Sarfarosh was Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Bollywood debut and he had a minimal on-screen appearance. Another interesting fact that Siddiqui revealed was that he reminded Aamir Khan that they had worked together in Sarfarosh during the shooting of Talaash. Otherwise, Aamir was not aware of the fact that Nawazuddin Siddiqui was a part of Sarfarosh.
