Playing Thackeray was tough: Nawaz
Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui says that he had to work really hard to get the personality and mannerisms right to play the role of late politician Bal Thackeray on the big screen.
During the trailer launch of Thackeray Nawazuddin said, “Getting the mannerisms, his thought process and internalising his vision to portray the character was very tough and I had to work really hard on that. I know that people are talking about my look and the credit goes to the make-up artiste. A good professional make-up artiste can give me the look, but how I am portraying the character depends on how I am preparing for it…I have honestly attempted to do that.”
‘I am not one of those filmmakers who makes one film in four years but there are few films like Chennai Express, Golmaal 3, Golmaal Again and Singham that you know... That it's an on-beat film and it has been made the way we wanted to make it. So Simmba is one of them.’

Comedian Bharti Singh has had a long association with fellow comedian Kapil Sharma. She says she waited for about nine months to work with him once again.
Bharti will be essaying the character of Titli Yadav, Bhachcha Yadav's (comedian Kiku Sharda) wife and mother of his 11 children in The Kapil Sharma Show.
“The wait was longer for me than the rest of the audience because when the rumours started (about Kapil's show coming to an abrupt end), I called up Kapil and assured him that no matter what the world is trying to say, we know how you really are,” Bharti said.
