Aditya Kripalani said Nawazuddin Siddiqui showed strong commitment to the project. He revealed that the actor did not charge any fee for the film. He also shared, “He was an absolute professional. He even bought his own ticket to reach Frankfurt, all by himself. He didn’t come with his manager.”
Kripalani further added, “Him not charging a fee is a big thing, really big. In India, there is always that pressure of ‘how much are you earning?’ When someone like Nawaz doesn’t charge money, you can actually turn around and say, ‘This is my earning.’ It’s one of the high points of my career.”
Main Actor Nahin Hoon has already been screened at international festivals. The upcoming theatrical release will now bring the film to a wider audience in India. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is known for choosing different roles across genres. His performances often stand out for their detail and depth. The film adds another unique project to his filmography.

Apart from Main Actor Nahin Hoon, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will also be seen in upcoming projects like Thamma 2 and Tumbbad 2. The two films belong to very different genres. Thamma 2 is expected to be a horror comedy, while Tumbbad 2 continues the folklore-driven world of its earlier instalment. Audiences are watching closely as the actor prepares for another busy phase on screen.
