Nawazuddin Siddiqui thanks Sudhir Mishra for casting him in Serious Men

National Award-winning actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who was most recently seen in Ghoomketu (2020), feels fortunate enough to have worked with renowned filmmaker Sudhir Mishra in his next directorial offering Serious Man.

Mishra, who last called the shots for Hotstar Specials’ Hostages (2019), tweeted about completing post-production work on their upcoming film for Netflix, which is based on Manu Joseph’s book of the same name.


“Finishing Serious Men. I mean I knew this, but the impact is truly felt when the sound mixing is more or less done. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is brilliant in the film!” the filmmaker wrote on his Twitter handle.

Thanking Mishra, Nawazuddin Siddiqui wrote, “Thank you so much, Sudhir Mishra Sir. I feel fortunate enough to have worked with you and the process was really wonderful.”

Bankrolled by Bombay Fables and Cineraas Entertainment, Serious Man tells the tale of a crafty slum dweller who cons the country into believing that his 10-year-old son is a genius, only to realise that the only victim of his dangerous game is his son.

Talking about working with Sudhir Mishra, Nawaz had said in an earlier interview, “I am very excited to be a part of Serious Men and work with a creative mind like Sudhir Mishra. This is my second stint with Netflix after Sacred Games.”

Apart from Serious Man, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will also be seen in his much-awaited film Bole Chudiyan, wherein he has been paired opposite Tamannaah. The movie marks the directorial debut of his brother Shamas Nawab Siddiqui.

Soha Ali Khan reveals facing criticism since 2015 for her interfaith marriage to Kunal Kemmu

Being part of a high-profile family hasn't shielded Soha Ali Khan from criticism especially when it comes to personal choices that defy conventional boxes. Despite her calm public demeanour, Soha recently shared how she continues to receive unwarranted remarks about her interfaith marriage with actor Kunal Kemmu, even a decade after tying the knot.

Soha and Kunal’s relationship has often been under public gaze, not because of their work in films or parenting approach, but because they come from different religious backgrounds. Married since 2015, the couple has been quietly raising their daughter, Inaaya, while often posting glimpses of their celebrations whether Diwali or Eid. But each post is met with an odd barrage of questions. “How many rozas have you kept?” is one of the recurring comments she sees if she shares a Diwali picture. During Holi, people ask, “What kind of Muslim are you?”
