There’s no doubt that Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the finest talents in Bollywood. The actor is known for his magnificent performance in films Gangs Of Wasseypur, Kahani, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Raees. 

The Munna Michael star has cemented a strong place in the Hindi film industry on the back of unconventional roles. 

The Badlapur actor is all set to play one of the most challenging roles of his career, if a recent DNA report is to go by. Nawazuddin will portray the role of Bal Thackeray in an upcoming biopic based on Shiv Sena founder as per the report.
