Last seen in Ritesh Batra’s Photograph (2019), Nawazuddin Siddiqui has announced a new film. The award-winning actor has joined forces with Bangladeshi filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki to co-produce and star in the forthcoming English-language drama No Land’s Man.
Nawaz took to micro-blogging site Twitter to confirm the news. “The most coveted script is finally going to be made into a film. Thank you Mostofa Sarwar Farooki for the opportunity,” the Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) actor wrote.
Siddiqui went on to add, “I felt compelled to be associated with the project in more than just the capacity of an actor, as I thought this is that kind of film which really needs to be made.”
In addition to Nawaz, Farooki and Bangladeshi actress Nusrat Imrose Tisha will also jointly produce the film, which is presently in pre-production.
The rest of the cast and crew are yet to be finalized.
Besides No Land’s Man, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will also be seen in his brother’s directorial debut Bole Chudiyaan and Motichoor Chaknachoor. The actor is also looking forward to the premiere of his Netflix series Sacred Games Season 2.
