Should feel proud of Bollywood:

• In an appearance in “Aap Ki Adalat”, to be telecast on India TV on Saturday, the critically acclaimed actor, known for portraying complex characters with ease, said:
• “I am the highest paid actor in industry as far as acting is concerned.
• I did not have to ask. They (filmmakers) themselves started paying me this.”
• The actor, popular for films like “Gangs Of Wasseypur”, “The Lunchbox” and “Raman Raghav 2.0”,
• wonders why the Indian film industry is obsessed with Hollywood.
• “I do not know why there is an inferiority complex among us… Everybody here wants to work in Hollywood and become big.
• I can’t understand why we have this complex. When we watch films from a powerful country, we feel somewhat inferior.
• We think our films are not up to their level, but at present, we should feel proud of our films.
• We are making films with very good content here.”

When Huma called Nawaz ‘Bhai’

• Nawazuddin will next be seen in “Babumoshai Bandookbaaz”, in which he has some intimate scenes with actress Bidita Bag.
• Earlier, actress Chitrangada Singh was a part of the movie, but she had walked out it.
• Commenting on that, Nawazuddin said:
• “She left when half of the shooting was over. Actually our director (Kushan Nandy) wanted some more kissing scenes, and she said, ‘Enough is enough, I won’t be able to do any more scenes, and left’.”
• He said he felt “uncomfortable” initially while doing kissing scenes, but became used to it.
• Narrating an incident with Huma Qureshi during the shoot of “Gangs of Wasseypur”, he said:
• “We had to do a romantic scene, and she started addressing me as Nawaz bhai.
• I went to the director Anurag Kashyap and said, ‘She is calling me bhai, how can I do the scene?'”
