Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the most phenomenal actors in Bollywood. The actor is an alumnus of the National School of Drama and had to do many minor yet significant roles before his talent could be appreciated by the larger audiences. He appeared in many Hindi movies playing small roles before he finally managed to get his big break in the blockbuster movie - Gangs of Wasseypur. From there on the actor was more and more recognized and appraised in many other movies.

Dev.D 

Dev.D is a story about a guy named Dev, played by Abhay Deol, who is madly in love with a girl called Paro. The movie is a modern take on the Bengali novel called Devdas. Devdas had already been made into a movie before by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, which featured Aishwarya Rai in the main role of Paro. Furthermore, the movie has many strong cultural references. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is seen performing a song in the film called Emotional Attyachar. The song is quite funny and gained the actor a lot of fan following as well.

Manorama Six Feet Under

Manorama Six Feet Under is another brilliant movie by Abhay Deol, where the actor is seen playing an engineer. The movie is very interesting and also features Nawaz in a tiny role. Nawaz plays a desert goon who sports flashy shades and tries to scare Abhay Deol's character. Like all his roles in Dev.D and  Ek Chalis Ki Last Local, this role is also quite comical.
