Nawazuddin fell from the boat in Saindhav. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is set to make his Telugu debut in Sailesh Kolanu’s Saindhav, slated for release on January 13, just in time for Sankranthi. Portraying the character of Vikas Malik, a borderline unhinged businessman, Nawazuddin showcases his versatility in this Shraddha Srinath, Ruhani Sharma, and Andrea Jeremiah co-starrer. In a recent press interaction in Hyderabad, the acclaimed actor shared insights about his experience working with Venkatesh, learning Telugu, and more.

Having played a diverse array of roles throughout his career, Nawazuddin emphasizes that the quality and appeal of a role matter more to him than the conventional hero or villain categorization. He expresses his excitement for the role in Saindhav, stating that Sailesh Kolanu has crafted a role that offers him ample scope for performance. Acknowledging that negative roles often provide more depth for an actor, Nawazuddin is thrilled about the character he embodies in this Telugu venture. However, he also reveals a dream role he aspires to take on, mentioning his keenness to play Osho in a biopic if the opportunity arises.

Praising Venkatesh, Nawazuddin appreciates the learning experience he had while shooting with the seasoned star. He particularly commends Venkatesh's dedication in performing action sequences without a stunt double, showcasing a new dimension of the actor in the film. Nawazuddin also admires Venkatesh's patience, a quality he aims to incorporate into his own approach to acting.

Recounting a memorable incident from the shoot, Nawazuddin humorously shares a near-mishap in Sri Lanka. He describes a close call when a massive wave nearly threw him off a boat. Despite the initial scare, he managed to land back on the boat instead of the ocean. The incident, captured on camera, is incorporated into the film, promising an entertaining and authentic moment for the audience.

In summary, Nawazuddin Siddiqui's foray into Telugu cinema with Saindhav not only brings anticipation for his performance but also showcases his admiration for co-star Venkatesh and the unique experiences encountered during the shoot.
