In an interview to a media house, Nawazuddin Siddiqui says in his early days, he was removed from a lot of films, but Hey Ram hurt him the most because of how much he respected and looked up to the veteran actor and filmmaker, Kamal Haasan. He says he is one of his idols, along with others like Dilip Kumar, Naseeruddin Shah, Anthony Hopkins and Denzel Washington, and that he was “as excited as a child” about this opportunity. 
He even went on to reveal that it was Kamal’s daughter, Shruti Hassan , who consoled him at that time. But he goes on to reassure that he has no hard feelings, and that Kamal Sir is an absolutely knowledgeable artist whom he highly respects. Nawaz was last seen in Sudhir Mishra‘s Netflix film, Serious Men. He has been having back to back OTT releases with Honey Tehran‘s murder mystery, Raat Akeli Hain and Pushpendra Nath Mishra‘s Ghoomketu.
