It's a fanboy moment for Nawazuddin Siddiqui as renowned author Paulo Coelho praised his amazing acting skills in Netflix's Sacred Games 2 and called him a "great actor." The 45-year-old actor thanked the noted author on Sunday and called himself "an ardent fan" of Paulo Coelho. Nawazuddin Siddiqui added that it's an honour for him to be noticed and mentioned by someone like Paulo. On Saturday, Paulo Coelho shared the link of Netflix's Sacred Games and wrote: "One of the best series on Netflix, with the great actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui." Reacting to the compliment, Nawazuddin replied: "Sir Paulo Coelho. I have read your books The Alchemist and also watched the film Veronika Decides To Die based on your novel. I have always been an ardent fan of your writing and it's an honour to be noticed and mentioned by someone like you. I don't have words to describe the feeling."
Paulo Coelho is a Brazilian novelist, who is best-known for his works such as Eleven Minutes, The Pilgrimage, The Alchemist, The Spy, The Valkyries, The Winner Stands Alone and The Devil And Miss Prym.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui reprised his role as Gaitonde in the second season of Sacred Games. The web-series is based on Vikram Chandra's 2006 novel by the same name. The second season of the web-series aired on Netflix on August 15, 2019.
