Nawazuddin Siddiqui will play the lead role in Sudhir Mishra’s upcoming Netflix original film Serious Men. Based on journalist Manu Joseph’s eponymous book, the film follows a Mumbai slum dweller who convinces the world that his 10-year-old son is a genius. This is Nawazuddin’s second collaboration with Netflix after Sacred Games.
“I am very excited to be a part of Netflix’s Serious Men and work with a creative mind like Sudhir Mishra. This is my second stint with Netflix after Sacred Games and I hope that people give Ayyan Mani the same love that they extended to Ganesh Gaitonde,” said Nawaz.
Sudhir Mishra is known for directing the critically-acclaimed films Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Inkaar. His last directorial outing was Daas Dev. Sacred Games 2 is in post-production stages and will be available for streaming soon. Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s upcoming projects include Bole Chudiyan, Motichoor Chaknachoor, Dusty to meet Rusty and No Man’s Land.
