Nawazuddin Siddiqui Teams Up With Director Paritosh Painter
The Sacred Games star is joining forces on a new project called Naqaab.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is taking on fresh territory with filmmaker Paritosh Painter, as per reports circulating in the Indian media. The collaboration centers around a film titled Naqaab, marking an interesting creative pairing for the actor known for his transformative roles in films like Gangs of Wasseypur and The Lunchbox.
What’s making this one extra special? Industry chatter suggests that Painter is directing Siddiqui alongside his own daughter, Shora, in the project. Talk about keeping it in the creative family. The dynamic between the three on set is definitely something we’re dying to know more about.
Siddiqui has built a stellar reputation for picking unconventional scripts and collaborating with bold directors, from his acclaimed work in Raman Raghav 2.0 to his web series Sacred Games. This new venture with Painter seems right in his wheelhouse of interesting storytelling. We’re already curious about what Naqaab will bring to the table.
