You have seen Nawazuddin Siddiqui play a gangster, a rebel, a rookie criminal, a detective, a political leader, and an idealistic reporter aiding a man in helping a daughter reunite with his mother. But have you wondered what Nawazuddin Siddiqui would be like as a transgender character? If yes, you will finally get to see him in an avatar like that in his upcoming film, Haddi.
This upcoming Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer has been the talk of the town ever since the first images of his drag-clad character found their way to the internet. The excitement has only grown by leaps and bounds since the release of the official trailer, which promises the viewers a one-of-a-kind cinematic roller coaster ride.
However, the fact that this powerhouse of talent will be seen in an unrecognizable avatar is only one of the several reasons why you should watch Haddi after it makes its streaming debut on September 7th on ZEE5 Global in select territories. Read on to know exactly why Haddi should be on your must-watch list.
For starters, not only does Nawazuddin Siddiqui play a transgender character in Haddi, he also plays an aspiring transgender who eventually becomes a crime overlord in Delhi with a vengeful heart. Hence, Haddi is not only a film about the transgender community of India, it is also a revenge saga that also doubles up as a rags to riches story that also explores the nefarious underbelly of the national capital.
Second of all, if the trailers are anything to go by, Siddiqui can be seen giving what could perhaps be the best performance of his career to date in the film. It is evident that the powerhouse actor oozes sincerity and authenticity while he is in character, as his dialect, mannerisms, and get up seem pitch perfect. It only shows the amount of attention that the actor himself has paid to the details and his dedication to his craft.
Thirdly, the film also sees Siddiqui reunite with his longtime collaborator, Anurag Kashyap. But, in the case of this film, Kashyap is playing a character in the movie instead of taking on the role of its director. If the trailer is anything to go by once again, it seems like the acclaimed director plays a fairly quirky but important part in the film. What a delight that would be, right? Seeing Siddiqui and Kashyap butt heads in the film
