Author Paulo Coelho calls Nawazuddin Siddiqui a great actor

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a fantastic performer and there’s no doubt about it. He has always impressed one and all with his performances on the big screen. However, with Sacred Games season one and two, the actor has made a mark in the digital world as well.

Author Paulo Coelho, known for his bestselling novel The Alchemist, recently saw Sacred Games took to Twitter to praise Nawazuddin. He tweeted, “One of the best series on Netflix, with the great actor @Nawazuddin_S.”


Nawaz took to Twitter to thank Coelho. The actor tweeted, “Sir @paulocoelho I hv read ur books The Alchemist & also watched d film 'Veronika decides to Die' based on ur novel I hv always been an ardent fan of ur writing & it's an honour 2 be noticed & mentioned by someone like you I don't have words to describe the feeling Thank You ?.”

Well, this proves that Nawaz is not just impressing people in India with his performance, but even in overseas, he is making a mark.

Talking about Sacred Games, while the season one had received a great response, season two has received a mixed response. People are sad that after such a great season one the makers failed to reach their expectations from season two. However, performances of Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are appreciated. Season two of the series ended with a hint of season three, so let's wait and watch if there will be a season three as well.

Coming to Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s movies, the actor has films like Motichoor Chaknachoor, Raat Akeli Hai and Bole Chudiyaan in his kitty. While in Motichoor Chaknachoor he will be seen with Athiya Shetty, in Bole Chudiyaan, Nawaz will be seen romancing Tamannaah Bhatia.
