Nawaz on how he wove in his Heropanti 2 character’s traits in real life to do justice to part

Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Many felt I’m displaying feminine qualities

The most, if not the only, fascinating part of the Heropanti 2 trailer is Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Laila. As a ruthless don who has a feminine side to him, his character is unpredictable and quirky. For the actor, the biggest challenge was to perfect the gait, which had to depict the power of a don while retaining feminine elegance. “I incorporated the [traits of] the character in my real life. Laila’s walk and the feminine touch [in his manners] were prominently visible in my gestures,” he says.


Before reporting to a film’s set, the actor is known to immerse himself in his character. It wasn’t any different for Ahmed Khan’s directorial venture. Siddiqui adds, “Many asked me about the change in my body language, and told me that my walk is different from my usual style. Many thought I am displaying feminine qualities. That’s how engrossed I was in Laila’s role. I [dropped] the mannerisms after the shoot was completed.” Heropanti 2 sees Tiger Shroff’s Babloo lock horns with Siddiqui’s Laila in a bid to stop cyber crimes across the world.
