Early life and education

But boredom set in soon, and he moved to Delhi, here in the next one and a half year period, he started watching plays, while working as a watchman at an office.[1][5][8]

He graduated from the The National School of Drama (NSD), New Delhi in 1996[9] for his theater academics.

Career

He went to the National School of Drama New Delhi.[10] After passing out of NSD, he shifted to Mumbai. Nawazuddin made his Bollywood debut in 1999, with a small role in Aamir Khan starrer, Sarfarosh.[11][12] He was also seen in a small role of a pick-pocket in film "Munnabhai MBBS" and shared screen with Sunil Dutt, Rohini Hatangadi and Sanjay Dutt.After moving to Mumbai he tried to get work in television serials, but did not achieve much success.[13][14] After his debut, he appeared in minor roles, where he remained largely unnoticed, despite his strong performances.[6] He did a short film The Bypass in 2003, where he appeared with actor, Irrfan Khan.[15] Beyond that between 2002–05, he was largely out of work, and lived in a flat he shared with four other people, and survived by conducting occasional acting workshops.[13] His appearance in Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday (2007) paved way for other powerful roles. His first lead role in a feature film was in Prashant Bhargava's PATANG, which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival, for which Nawazuddin's performance has been praised by world renowned film critic Roger Ebert (awarding the film 4 stars),[2] a role which 'transformed his acting style'.[3] In 2009, he appeared in a cameo role in hit song "emotional atyachar" in the movie Dev D in his moniker as Rangila along with his duo Rasila (known together as Patna ke Presley). Nawazuddin was noticed in film "NEWYORK" as a co-prisoner with John Abraham. His face expressions during an interview scene with Katrina Kaif are marvellous. However it was his role of a journalist in Aamir Khan Productions's Peepli Live (2010), that first got him recognition as an actor.[16] This was followed by a role as police informer Gopi in the biopic, Paan Singh Tomar directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia also in the same year.[5]

He became a household name post Kahaani (2012), where he played the archetypal short-tempered intelligence officer Khan.[17] Gangs of Wasseypur followed which furthered his fame.[18] He played his first primary role as Sonu Duggal in Ashim Ahluwalia's Miss Lovely[19] which premiered at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival,[20][21] a role Nawazuddin describes as his "most real performance so far.”[22] Nawazuddin also played the lead role in the upcoming films, Gangs of Wasseypur - Part II and Aatma.[23] He has appeared in Aamir Khan's 2012 release, Talash. His film PATANG currently in release in the U.S. and Canada, is garnering much attention for Nawazuddin with rave reviews from the New York Times,[24] Los Angeles Times[24] and Roger Ebert.
