Nawazuddin Siddiqui describes how, after the success of “Gangs of Wasseypur 2,” he receives offers that included “blank cheques” and a large number of scripts. In an interview with NDTV, he says the scripts and cheques are presented to him in the period following the film’s release.
He says “Gangs of Wasseypur 2,” in which he plays Faizal Khan, becomes a defining moment in his career. According to his account, the response to the film translates into industry attention, with multiple scripts being handed to him and financial instruments left on his table.
Across the two NDTV pieces, the emphasis remains on the same post-release period and the same core details: the film’s role in boosting his career and the unusual nature of the offers he receives. The outlets differ mainly in framing, using one headline to highlight the “blank cheques” and another to focus on the number of scripts he received.
All information comes from Siddiqui’s statements in the NDTV interviews.
