Consider Shahrukh and Salman my co-actors, not stars: Nawazuddin

Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who has A-listers of Bollywood wishing to work with him, says he does not want to think about the prominence of big stars like Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan as he considers them as colleagues when performing.

Nawazuddin, who worked with Salman in Bajrangi Bhaijaan has just completed his first schedule with Shahrukh Khan for Raees, in which he plays a policeman.

"When I am on set, Shahrukh and Salman are co-actors for me. If I start thinking that I am working with Salman, then as an actor, I would not be able to improvise the character that I am playing. During shoots, I do not want to think about who I am working with as it will corrupt my performance," he told the media as he shared his experience of working with both the Khans.

The 49-year-old actor, who is riding on the success of his last film, Manjhi: The Mountain Man, will be seen with megastar Amitabh Bachchan in Sujoy Ghosh's next film.

"I think as an actor my work is to give the best performance. If I continue to think about Shahrukh and Salman as stars, then I am not showing proper respect to their characters, as well as mine. You should be honest in your work," he added.
