Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has revealed that he did not charge a fee for his latest film Main Actor Nahin Hoon, a decision he said mirrors the approach he took with his earlier film Manto.
Explaining his decision, Siddiqui said, “Of course, money is important. I’m not denying that. But if money becomes the only thing guiding your decisions as an actor, then your passion begins to suffer somewhere.”
The actor added, “I never entered films thinking I would become rich through acting. If earning money was my only goal, I could have done something else entirely. In fact, I didn’t take any money for this film and even for Manto.”
Siddiqui said he strongly believed Main Actor Nahin Hoon deserved to be made and seen by audiences, regardless of its scale or commercial prospects.
Reflecting on the shoot, Siddiqui said, “It may release on only 50 or 60 screens, with limited shows, but while shooting it, I genuinely enjoyed myself as an actor. It reminded me of theatre days: Experimental, honest, and free.”
Siddiqui is also in development on Tumbbad 2, the sequel to the 2018 cult film, with production expected to begin soon.
