There was an actor named Ashraf Ulhaq in Black Friday, who has now passed away. He asked me if you can talk to rajpal yadav and give him hope. Upon our meeting at the train station, nawazuddin siddiqui had his suitcase in his arms. I met him in this manner.
Nawazuddin assumed a waiter's role.
Anurag Kashyap remembered telling rajpal yadav that he was casting for the movie Shool and that he would be playing a part in it. rajpal yadav consented to play a single scene. He was impersonating a porter.
Anurag said - his career started from there. Nawaz was also there so he asked me if I could also get a role? I told him that there is no role left now but I can keep you somewhere else. So Nawaz said that I don't even have money to eat. I will do anything. So in Shool, Nawaz was given the role of a waiter in a scene with Manoj and Raveena. Nawaz was very thin at that time. Everything started from there.
