Nawazuddin Siddiqui has delivered many notable performances in Indian cinema, including his role in Badlapur. His performance in the critically acclaimed film played a key role in his career. However, did you know that he wasn’t given any written dialogues in the film and improvised everything on his own?
10 Years of Badlapur: Nawazuddin Siddiqui on improvising all his dialogues, “His transformation was happening internally”
Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s role as Liak in Badlapur (2015) left a lasting impact on audiences. His portrayal of the cunning yet unpredictable antagonist was shaped through improvisation, as director Sriram Raghavan didn’t provide him with fixed dialogues. This creative freedom led to some of the film’s most striking moments. As Badlapur completes 10 years, his performance remains a standout in his career.
Talking about the same Nawazuddin shared, “Playing this role wasn’t easy because he wasn’t someone who openly expressed emotions. His transformation was happening internally, in a space that wasn’t visible to the audience. And since he wasn’t intellectually evolved, he couldn’t even put those changes into words.”
“Every time I performed a scene, director Sriram Raghavan reminded me that my character was a killer by chance. However, it was crucial to also show the subtle transformation he undergoes while staying true to his core nature as a scoundrel,” He added on the 10 years of Badlapur.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is gearing up for his next film, I’m Not An Actor. The recently released trailer has generated buzz, and the film is set for its world premiere at the 2025 Cinequest Film Festival in California this March. Apart from this, sources indicate that he has multiple films in the pipeline, though their titles remain undisclosed.
