Bollywood's 'untrained actors' crisis called out by Nawazuddin Siddiqui as he exposes harsh truths about Indian movie industry
In a rare and unfiltered conversation, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has shared a sharp critique of the inner workings of the Hindi film industry . Speaking to SCREEN for its Creators X Creators segment, Siddiqui addressed what he believes are serious problems plaguing Bollywood — from the absence of real friendships to the dominance of untrained actors over deserving talent. The actor, who recently turned 50, used the opportunity to reflect not just on his own journey but on the broader issues that, according to him, prevent the industry from being truly inclusive or professional. Superficial Relationships in the Industry Siddiqui asserted that genuine friendships are virtually non-existent in the film world. He reflected on how relationships in Bollywood are often transactional, stating, 'With time, it's one person today, and there will be someone else tomorrow. It's on the basis of need or benefits. The friendships that I also have in life are from old times, not from here.' He pointed out that insecurity among actors is a major factor contributing to this environment. According to him, 'That happens because there is an insecurity in every actor here; hence, there's no strong friendship or loyalty towards each other. The industry is not strong and united in that way. There is a club that stays separate; they aren't together.' Critique of Casting Practices In addition to discussing personal dynamics, Siddiqui voiced concern over the growing trend of casting untrained performers in leading roles. He criticized the industry for accommodating actors who, he believes, lack the skills required for the craft. 'An actor who isn't that reliable… they are made to act somehow, this happens only in our industry. Other industries only need professional and trained actors, they don't allow them to come in otherwise.' He argued that the audience eventually becomes accustomed to mediocre performances, creating a false sense of growth in such actors. Comparing their early and later work can lead to the mistaken belief that they've improved, when in reality, the standard has been lowered. 'If you would have taken a deserving actor in those 15 films, then the actor would have been something else. Deserving and great actors are put in supporting roles, this makes me angry,' he said. Ongoing Projects While continuing to challenge Bollywood norms, Siddiqui remains active on the professional front. He was recently seen in Costao, a Zee5 release based on the real-life story of a 1990s Goa customs officer who tackled gold smuggling. He is also currently working on Raat Akeli Hai 2 and Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, further cementing his presence in content-driven cinema.

‘Angry' Nawazuddin Siddiqui says there are ‘no friendships' in Bollywood among ‘insecure' actors, deserving actors only get supporting roles: ‘We cast unreliable actors'
Nawazuddin Siddiqui always speaks his mind — whether he is talking about being an outsider in the film industry or how Bollywood works even for those who have had some amount of popularity and work. In a recent interview with SCREEN for its Creators X Creators segment, birthday boy Nawazuddin spoke candidly about his relationships in the industry, unreal friendships, and casting of untrained actors in movies while good actors get only 'character or supportive' roles. Nawazuddin emphasised that there are no real relationships in Hindi cinema and his friends are from the time he was struggling to make a mark in films. Siddiqui feels that there is 'no friendship' in the industry at all. 'With time, it's one person today and there will be someone else tomorrow. Its on the basis of need or benefits. The friendships that I also have in life are from old times, not from here,' he expressed. The 50-year-old actor added, 'That happens because there is an insecurity in every actor here, hence there's no strong friendship or loyalty towards each other. The industry is not strong and united in that way. There is a club that stays separate, they aren't together.' ALSO READ | Nawazuddin Siddiqui began saying Psycho Raman's dialogues while being admitted to hospital after fainting on set: 'Doctors warned me' Nawazuddin Siddiqui also complained how the actors who are cast in films are not trained and not upto the demands of the role. 'An actor who isn't that reliable… they are made to act somehow, this happens only in our industry. Other industries only need professional and trained actors, they don't allow them to come in otherwise.' 'The audience gets habitual to the bad acting of that actor, and then when we compare their first film and 15th film, we feel the acting is getting better in comparison. If you would have taken a deserving actor in those 15 films, then the actor would have been something else. Deserving and great actors are put in supporting roles, this makes me angry,' he concluded. On the work front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was last seen in the Zee5 film Costao, directed by Sejal Shah. The actor has Raat Akeli Hai 2 and Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups in the pipeline.
