A couple of days ago, we asked cinema lovers to vote for the movie in which they think Nawazuddin Siddiqui did an impressive job. The voters were given five options, namely Gangs of Wasseypur, Raman Raghav 2.0, Badlapur, Haddi, and Motichoor Chaknachoor. Among them, the two-part epic black comedy crime film, helmed by Anurag Kashyap, won with 100% votes.

Apart from Siddiqui, several other actors, including Manoj Bajpayee, Pankaj Tripathi, Richa Chadda, Jaideep Ahlawat, Huma Qureshi, and Tigmanshu Dhulia, played key roles in the A-certified movie.

The mass entertainer tells the tale of the coal mafia (Mafia Raj) of Dhanbad and the power struggle between three crime families. For the unknown, Nawazuddin's portrayal of Faizal Khan was highly lauded, with the actor receiving a special mention at the 60th National Film Awards.

In an earlier conversation with Mid-Day, the ace actor opened up on rumors of a possible Part 3 of the iconic movie. He told the publication that director Anurag Kashyap would not be making the film, and he would not be acting in it either. The Haddi actor was also quick to state that he frequently receives similar offers, with people even suggesting making a film solely centered around his character.
