Naseeruddin Shah is confident that his chemistry with Arshad Warsi in 'Dedh Ishqiya' is better and warmer since they starred together in the 2010 hit 'Ishqiya'.


In an interview, the 63-year-old was asked if his chemistry with Arshad has improved over time.

"Definitely, because in these three years we have become more experienced. We still know each other the same amount as we did three years back and we are not very close friends. But I know that we both love and appreciate each other," Naseeruddin said. Read More on MSN

Naseeruddin Shah is undoubtedly one of the best performers on the Indian screen. Despite his atypical looks, he managed to make a mark for himself in both parallel and commercial films, but gives credit to Amitabh Bachchan for paving the way for unconventional looking heroes in the Hindi filmdom.


Nowadays unconventional-looking actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Irrfan among others have raised the bar in filmdom, but Naseer feels the real credit goes to Amitabh.

"Mentality has not changed. It's just that the audience has always appreciated good acting. If unconventional people are getting roles, that credit goes to Bachchan saab. Even he was called unconventional in the beginning of his career and now the same people say what a sexy man!" he said.

"There is a huge contribution of Mr.Bachchan to make the unconventional face acceptable in commercial Hindi films. After that our careers - like Om Puri, Nana Patekar, Farooque Sheikh, Smita Patil and Shabana Azmi - started. But the tendency has not changed. Still the chocolate face is acceptable," he added.

Naseeruddin's own achievements are no mean feat, but despite three National Awards, international honour and acclaim, the seasoned actor wonders why he isn't seen as a commercially viable artist by filmmakers.

The Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan awardee has been part of some of the big-ticket box office movies in the recent past. Read More on MSN
