There is no doubt about the fact that Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the finest actors in Hindi cinema. If he is there in any project, we can at least expect a riveting performance, if not anything else.
Over the years, Nawaz has established himself as an actor who delivers his hundred percent. That is one of the reasons almost all filmmakers want to work with him. Producers are ready to shell out any amount of money to have him onboard.
In that scenario, it should not come as a surprise if we tell you that the makers of the internationally popular digital series Sacred Games have decided to double his fee for the second season of the series.
Yes, according to reports, Nawazuddin will get a pay hike for reprising his role in Sacred Games 2. However, Saif Ali Khan, who played the male lead in Season 1, will not get any hike for reprising his role in Season 2.
“Sacred Games is Nawaz’s most successful work to date. When the producers decided to make a second season, Nawaz made it clear that he deserved a lot more money for it — nearly double of what he was paid for Season 1. However, his co-star Saif is getting the same amount that he got then.”
Siddiqui, who was recently seen in Manto, also confirmed the news. “Big producers pay me what I ask for. And I ask for what I deserve. When I do a Sacred Games, I am empowered to do a Manto for free.”
