Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who will be seen essaying the role of a contract killer in his upcoming film Babumoshai Bandukbaaz, thinks murderers can be romantic at heart too.

When asked if he will be seen romancing in the film, the Gangs of Wasseypur 2 star said, "Why not? Contract killers can also be romantic."

Nawazuddin spoke at the poster shoot of Babumoshai Bandukbaaz on Monday, stating: "Romance can be done in many ways. Every person has their own way to express romanticism".

"My role is of a contract killer Babumoshai. He is different so his expression of love is different too. In Gangs of Wasseypur 2, my role was of a shy person who asked for permission to hold his girlfriend's hand. Here Babumoshai is fearless. He romances on the basis of the gun," the Manto star added.

The action-thriller directed by Kushan Nandy features Nawazuddin, Bidita Bag, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Roopa Ganguly, Tota Roy Chowdhury and Biswajit Chakraborty.

Nawazuddin was also asked about his thoughts on nepotism in Bollywood. Speaking about it, he said, "I don't think nepotism exists in Bollywood otherwise I could not have been in this position today. Good work and talent may take time to get recognised but it always earns respect eventually."
