Mumbai: Nawazuddin Siddiqui is in a lot of discussion these days because of his family dispute and Vidya Balan because of her topless photoshoot for Dabboo Ratnani. Both are amazing actors. His film ‘Kahaani’ was released 11 years ago. For this film, Vidya’s strong performance had won many awards for this film, then it proved to be a milestone in Nawazuddin’s career. Although the actor was not ready to work in this super-duper hit film.
On 9 March 2012, the mystery thriller film ‘Kahaani’ by Sujoy Ghosh was released. A great job was done by Vidya Balan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Parambrata Chatterjee in this film. In this film, the role of a pregnant woman, who searches for her missing husband in Kolkata during the Durga Puja festival and is helped by Parabrata Chatterjee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, was played by Vidya Balan. When Sujoy approached Nawazuddin for the film, he was busy shooting for ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and did not want to work in the film.
The news about Vidya Balan going topless in a photoshoot wrapped in newspaper has shocked fans.
Sujoy Ghosh’s trick worked
Talking to Hindustan Times, Nawazuddin Siddiqui had said, ‘Really I was not ready to do ‘Kahaani’. The workshop of ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ was going on, Sujoy called me and we met at a restaurant in Versova. There he showed me a documentary, which I found very interesting. I asked Anurag Kashyap for a few days leave during the shooting of the film, and he happily agreed. Anurag is known for not forbidding actors from doing other films between shoots.
After 3 days ‘Kahaani’ made a splash at the box office
Nawazuddin Siddiqui had further told, ‘I was shooting for ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Talaash’ and ‘Kahaani’ all three at that time. All the three films were released simultaneously. These three films changed my career. It was not an idea that ‘Kahaani’ would be such a hit. The truth is that when the film was released, nothing happened for 3 days and it was not expected that the film would be a hit. But after Sunday, the producers and Sujoy started getting calls that the feedback is fantastic. After that, the way this film took off was amazing. Now I feel proud that I worked in this film.
