Netflix gives a pay hike to Nawazuddin Siddiqui for Sacred Games 2

There is no doubt about the fact that Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the finest actors in Hindi cinema. If he is there in any project, we can at least expect a riveting performance, if not anything else.

Over the years, Nawaz has established himself as an actor who delivers his hundred percent. That is one of the reasons almost all filmmakers want to work with him. Producers are ready to shell out any amount of money to have him onboard.


In that scenario, it should not come as a surprise if we tell you that the makers of the internationally popular digital series Sacred Games have decided to double his fee for the second season of the series.

Yes, according to reports, Nawazuddin will get a pay hike for reprising his role in Sacred Games 2. However, Saif Ali Khan, who played the male lead in Season 1, will not get any hike for reprising his role in Season 2.

Sacred Games is Nawaz’s most successful work to date. When the producers decided to make a second season, Nawaz made it clear that he deserved a lot more money for it — nearly double of what he was paid for Season 1. However, his co-star Saif is getting the same amount that he got then.”

Siddiqui, who was recently seen in Manto, also confirmed the news. “Big producers pay me what I ask for. And I ask for what I deserve. When I do a Sacred Games, I am empowered to do a Manto for free.”

Ed Sheeran collaborates with Jonita Gandhi for Hindi lyrics fans did not expect

Highlights:

  • Sheeran has never featured original Hindi lyrics in a song before, marking a significant first.
  • Gandhi has spoken about the immense difficulty of keeping the exciting news quiet until the announcement.
  • Her new verse explores the overwhelming, lightning-strike feeling of finding 'the one'.
  • The track is part of a larger EP featuring remixes with Karan Aujla, Hanumankind, and others.

Jonita Gandhi just confirmed the big collaboration. She is part of the upcoming remix of Ed Sheeran's song Heaven. This is not a background vocal thing; she has a full, proper verse in there in Hindi and this is a first for Sheeran. The track is part of his remix EP, which is basically a love letter to Indian sounds at this point.
