‘Idea of film motivated me to work’: Nawazuddin Siddiqui on new venture ‘No Land’s Man’

Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is currently celebrating his International Emmy nomination under the Best Actor category for the Netflix film Serious Men, by Sudhir Mishra. While the actor has to wait for another two months for the Emmys results, he has hopped on to his next International project. The Sacred Games actor will soon star in Bangladeshi director Mostofa Sarwar Farooki's film No Land’s Man. The actor recently opened up on the project in a recent interview.

As per a report by Variety, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will play the lead role in the upcoming film. No Land’s Man is scheduled for its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival. It is also nominated for the prestigious Kim Ji-seok award. The film arose from an idea about identity that the director presented to the Raman Raghav 2.0 actor in Kolkata about six years ago.

The actor further mentioned how the world should stay united and save and preserve the planet earth. During the interview, the actor also revealed how he has become pickier about his films.
