Nawazuddin Siddiqui criticizes Bollywood filmmakers for speaking in English, says, 'South Me Proud Feel Karte Hai…'

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has established his acting abilities in films such as Talaash (2012), and Manto (2018), among others. The actor is known for speaking his mind, and he recently expressed his displeasure with Bollywood filmmakers who speak in English while making Hindi movies.

Nawazuddin has recently made a number of revelations about his Shool (1999) payment troubles, being rejected by a girl, and other topics. In a recent interview, the actor discussed how South producers promote their films in their own language, but this is not the case in Bollywood.

“Aap Hindi mein film bana rahe ho lekin director bhi assistance bhi saare english mein baatein kar rahe ho” #NawazuddinSiddiqui

The actor continued to make comparisons to the South and commend the filmmakers in a video that has gone viral from an interview. He said, “South mein kya hai, Tamil mein baat karte hain, proud feel karte hain. Kannada hain toh Kannada mein baat karte hain… Saare writers bhi Kannada mein baat kar rahe hain, director bhi, saare local hain. Sabko samajh aa rahi hain sabki baatein (In the South, Tamil crews are proud of their language. Kannada screenwriters, and directors all speak in Kannada. They understand what’s being said on set).”

He went on to say that this frequently causes confusion and has an impact on the actor's performance. Meanwhile, Twitter users have supported Nawaz's sentiments, pointing out that despite stressing about the need of knowing how to stick to and converse in Hindi with actors who are more fluent in the language, the concept has gone completely unnoticed.

On the work front, Siddiqui will be next seen in Heropanti 2 co-starring Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria.
