Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of the topmost actors of Indian cinema today. However, there was a time, when like most other actors, he too was struggling for a break. It so happened that while he was employed as a Hindi language voice coach for Kamal Haasan in Hey Ram, the latter wrote him a small part - of that a person who gets entangled in a riot and gets saved by Kamal’s character. However, the same was left out at the editing table.

Now, Nawaz has spoken about the same to in a recent interview and was quoted as saying: There were many incidents when I did small roles and then the role was edited out. But the one incident that stays with me involves one of my idols Kamal Haasan. I was his Hindi dialogue coach on his film Hey Ram (2000) which he directed and also played the lead. When Kamalji offered me a small role in Hey Ram, I was as excited as a child. He is one of my idols alongside Dilip Kumar, Naseeruddin Shah, Anthony Hopkins and Denzel Washington. I’ve seen each and every film of theirs repeatedly.

“It was actually a substantial role. I was supposed to be this victim of a mob attack whom Kamalji rescues. I was excited about this opportunity to share screen space with my idol.”

Nawaz spoke about how he had reacted when the role was scrapped, “I wept bitterly. I remember Kamalji’s daughter Shruti consoling me. Though Kamalji cut my role there was no ill will whatsoever in my heart. How could I be resentful? Kamalji is such a complete artiste with his knowledge stretching far beyond. Unka toh mujhe naam bhil lene mein hichkichaahat hoti hai (I hesitate to even say his name).”
