Heropanti 2 will see Tiger Shroff and Nawazuddin Siddiqui locking horns with each other. The highly-anticipated movie promises the audience a heavy dose of action, thrill, romance, and entertainment and is all set to hit the screens on April 29, 2022. With the release date of Heropanti 2 inching closer, recently Nawazuddin Siddiqui talked about his role Laila. As per the reports of Mid-Day, the actor said that his character has to be equally entertaining as Tiger's character, Nawaz stated-

“Tiger has a huge fan following among kids. So, my character had to be equally entertaining. It’s not a part that could [benefit from] method acting; instead, the presentation enhanced it. Laila is also shown as a magician, so that kids could like him. Plus, he has a feminine touch”

Talking about how playing an antagonist has more scope, the actor further added-

 “When you play a villain, there is more scope to perform. So, I had the opportunity to explore [different shades within the role]. Usually, there is not much scope for such performances in mainstream films. But Ahmed felt only I could pull off this role, and he created a unique look for me. A lot of things were created spontaneously. For instance, the idea of giving him a feminine touch was built on the spot.”

 Heropanti 2 is directed by Ahmed Khan, written by Rajat Arora and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
