Mumbai Apr 25 PTI Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui believes reinventing as a performer is the only way to not become jaded in the film industryIn his career of more than two decades Siddiqui has received acclaim in almost every film -- from his early breakout roles in Black Friday and Kahaani to films which were riding on his shoulder like Gangs of Wasseypur Badlapur and PhotographThe actor said he never takes his audience for granted and hence his attempt is always to look for something more when a character comes his way It is on you if youre making your character challenging enough If youre doing that means youre still curious It is an ongoing process The day I stop the process thinking that the audience will love me anyway as I am a great actor my downfall will beginHere you can get too comfortable with the praise that comes your way it can make you feel jaded If I take that love the audience for granted I am finished the 47-year-old told PTICiting a cricket analogy Siddiqui said just because a cricketer has hit a century in his last match doesnt mean he gets to start his next from 100He also starts from zero Thats how acting is Every film of mine be it the big screen masala entertainers or so-called artistic films my process remains the same I always start from the scratch I unlearn and then go into any project Thats what keeps me on my toes and makes me be more receptive to challenges The actor is currently awaiting the release of his next Heropanti 2 The actioner headlined by Tiger Shroff is among those projects that feels like a departure from the Siddiqui brand of movies which are often mounted on a smaller scale but almost always guarantee a thought provoking cinematic experienceThe actor said he is aware that his appearances in commercial films like Kick and Heropanti 2 can irk a section of his fansA section of my fan base abuse me when I do commercial films and say Sir why are you doing this But for every Heropanti 2 I also have a No Lands Men watch that then I did Manto it was a beautiful film but when that didnt work it pained meWhen a credible thoughtful film-- made after a lot of research-- is not watched by the audience you feel like Forget it now I will do the other kind of cinema But hum aadat se majboor hai I will keep doing my kind of films and strike a balance he addedSiddiqui said commercial films are a great tool to break the pattern that one might fall into as an actor and credited them for always opening up a newer world for himWhat also helps the actor said is the visibility the big films give to his smaller projectsI have never hated commercial films If these big films earn money my smaller films will get made because money is always rolling Commercial films attract a huge audience and if even ten percent of that section comes to watch my smaller films it will be a hit he addedDirected by choreographer-filmmaker Ahmed Khan Heropanti 2 is scheduled to be released on April 29 PTI JUR SHD SHD

New Delhi Apr 20 PTI Bulldozers razing several structures in violence-hit Jahangirpuri during an anti-encroachment drive triggered political sparring on Wednesday with the Opposition alleging it was a demolition of Indias constitutional values which targeted the poor and minorities and the BJP asserting it was a legal exercise which had nothing to do with religionSeveral concrete and temporary structures close to a mosque were brought down this morning as part of an anti-encroachment drive by the BJP-ruled civic body days after the northwest Delhi neighbourhood was rocked by communal violence The Supreme Court had to intervene twice to stop the drive after it took cognizance of a petition filed by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind against the demolition Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked the government over the use of bulldozers in violence-hit areas of Delhi and Madhya Pradesh and alleged that this is a demolition of Indias constitutional values and targeted against the poor and minorities Taking to Twitter he urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to switch off bulldozers of hate and switch on power plants while highlighting the shortage of coal in the country due to which power plants were being shut down In another tweet Gandhi said This is a demolition of Indias constitutional values This is state-sponsored targeting of poor minorities BJP must bulldoze the hatred in their hearts instead The Congress also said that not only houses are being demolished by bulldozers our Constitution is being demolished Leaders from the Left parties some of whom visited the Jahangirpuri demolition site hit out at the BJP-led Centre over the use of bulldozers in the area despite a Supreme Court order to the contrary The BJP rebutted the oppositions allegation that Muslims were picked out in demolition drive in violence-hit Jahangirpuri saying that this was a legal exercise which had nothing to do with religion BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said the politics being played by opposition parties over the issue is saddening and accused them of bringing religious angle into a host of issues since 2014 to foment instability to attack the BJP government As far as the BJP government is concerned our only manta is sabka saath sabka vikas sabka vishwas sabka prayas Every project and policy of the Modi government has been an inclusive exercise which has catered to every section of society without any kind of distinction along the lines of caste creed and religion he said In an apparent reference to the demolition drive BJP national secretary Sunil Deodhar tweeted JCB Jihad Crush Board He used the hashtag bulldozer Hyderabad MP and All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi was allegedly stopped by the police from visiting Jahangirpuri Owaisi

site earlier with a physical copy of the Supreme Court order and urged the civic staff to stop the demolition instantly She stood in front of a bulldozer blocking its way Karat who received a lot of accolades on social media for trying to physically stop the bulldozer also met Delhi Police officials present at the site Laws as well as the Constitution have been bulldozed by illegal demolitions At least the Supreme Court and its order should not be bulldozed Karat told reporters CPI-MLs Delhi secretary Ravi Rai and CPI-Ms Hannan Mollah were among the other Left leaders present at the demolition site CPI MP Binoy Viswam said such politics only violate the rights of the poor CPIM general secretary Sitaram Yechury questioned the role of the Delhi police and demanded that the men in uniform be held accountable The Aam Aadmi Party said razing the residence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the BJP headquarters using bulldozers will free the country from communal violence and riots forever as it slammed the saffron party for the demolition of several structures in JahangirpuriWith the sole motive of triggering communal violence and riots the BJP got Rohingyas and Bangladeshis illegally settled in different parts of the country over the last eight years the AAP alleged BSP leader Danish Ali said the nation is surprised that in Narendra Modis digital India the order of Supreme Court
