NNAWAZUDDI­N IS MAKING SURE TO DEVOTE ENOUGH TIME TO PREP FOR HIS ROLE OF BAL THACKERAY. THE ACTOR WANTS TO POLISH HIS MARATHI, SO HE HAS BEEN WORKING HARD ON HIS DIALECT.

awazuddin Siddiqui has had a chock-a-block schedule lately. The actor will be seen in his first Indian web series this year, apart from his films, Genius and the biopic on the late politician Bal Thackeray. In order to fulfil all his profession­al commitment­s, he has been managing work on various assignment­s simultaneo­usly.

“The actor has only been multi-tasking — dubbing for the web series, shooting for the last schedule of Genius, and prepping for his role as Bal Thackeray. He will begin shooting for the ambitious biopic on April 5. To manage time, his Marathi coach has been coming to the set of his other project, as he is also learning Marathi for the biopic. When he can’t undergo the training, he usually trains post the shoot and gives three hours to the language lessons. He also converses with his team in Marathi,” says a source close to the actor.

Nawazuddin was supposed to take a break for few days before he began shoot for the biopic. However the schedule of the other film took time to complete. He also had two brand shoots and a few events to attend. But the actor is making sure to devote enough time to prep for his role. “The actor wants to polish his Marathi, so he has been working hard on his dialect with the diction coach, who is a specialist from National School Of Drama (NSD),” added the source.

Despite repeated attempts, Nawazuddin couldn’t be reached for a comment.
