New Delhi:
Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is looking forward to the release of his forthcoming film
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, hopes to support his small-budget movies through his work in commercial cinema.
The actor shared his strategy to support his small films during a promotional tour for
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, in which he shares screen space with superstars Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
"I enjoy doing these (commercial) films because even if five per cent of Salman's fans watch my smaller films then they will become a hit," Nawazuddin told reporters.
The film's team including Salman, Kareena, director Kabir Khan and singers Mika Singh, Adnan Sami, Jubin Nautiyal and Amar Butala, CEO of Salman Khan Films, were in the capital to promote the film, which will hit the screens on July 17.
After proving his mettle in a bevy of critically acclaimed movies like
Miss Lovely and
The Lunchbox, Nawazuddin has entertained filmgoers with big banner films like
Badlapur and
Kick. He also has a number of commercial films in the pipeline which includes Rahul Dholakia's
Raees, with Shah Rukh Khan.
In
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Nawazuddin plays role of a Pakistani journalist, who helps Salman's character take a speech-impaired girl back to her home in Pakistan.
