Mumbai: Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who will be acting alongside Salman Khan in the upcoming Kick, says that he plays a very thrilling role in the action entertainer.

Nawazuddin says film's director-producer Sajid Nadiadwala wrote the part keeping him in mind.

"Sajid told me that when the character was being written in the movie, he already had me in mind. Finally, when it was ready, he gave me a narration and I liked the role. It was a good opportunity," Nawaz told PTI in an interview. (Also read: More about Salman's role)

The 40-year-old actor, who has deftly portrayed a common man in films like Peepli Live, The Lunchbox and Liar's Dice, says people will find his Kick character interesting.

"This is completely different from what I have done before. I have mostly played the lower middle class person (in my earlier films) but not here. My character is grey and quite thrilling. People will enjoy it," Nawazuddin says.

When asked how it was to work with Salman, Nawazuddin says it was great.

"It was great. Salman made the working environment very light and easy because he is easy-going in real life. He is the most honest co-actor I had," says Nawazuddin.

Slated for an Eid release on July 25, the film also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Randeep Hooda.
