Nawazuddin Siddiqui Freaky Ali

On a lighter note, he tells NDTV that coming home and farming is like a detox regime and an inspiration. He observes and understands characters in the village and enacts them in his movies, 'my character in the movie Talaash was inspired from here and my search for inspiration always brings me back to my roots'

Nawazuddin Siddiqui shared pictures from his recent trip back home to Budhana in Uttar Pradesh where he ploughed mustard fields

It's finally time put on those Kala Chashmas movie-goers!

"I find Sohail Khan a damn cool director. He is a spontaneous director and he is by far the coolest director I have ever worked with. He creates such an atmosphere on the sets that you perform even difficult scenes with a lot of ease. He doesn't put any pressure on actors," said Nawazuddin

From the golf club to Manto's pen (Nawazuddin will be playing the titular role in Nandita Das' Indo-French co-production Manto), the actor said that's a challenge he is looking forward to since he will only be able to express Manto through what he has read of him

"Salman bhai was there while the narration was going on. He was happy with the script and was keen to do a role in the film. But this film doesn't allow him to fit him into a character because of his larger than life image. And Freaky Ali might have got disturbed by Salman bhai's grand image," Nawazuddin said

"The reason behind this is simple. Freaky Ali is a simple film and Salman Khan is a larger than life star," said Sohail

"I shared the thought of the film with him and started work on the script only after he had said yes to the film," said Sohail Khan

"That's why we took Nawazuddin. He is freaky. He will give you that shot in one take. If I would have done then it would have taken 50 takes. Even after that I would have never been able to say that again," Salman said.

"When we thought of this event for Sunday, we were told press (media) will not come. It was like if Salman Khan will come, press will also come," Sohail Khan said

"I thought... it was... was it Deepika? I thought she was going to win gold but she came eighth, no?" the actor said while launching the trailer of his brother Sohail's new film Freaky Ali

Superstar Salman Khan tweeted the first look of Freaky Ali on Saturday. The film will be produced by Salman and directed by his brother Sohail Khan. Sohail's last outing as a director was Jai Ho in 2014
