Nawaz recently got in an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com, while promoting his latest outing. The actor took the question of getting stereotyped in gangster roles in his stride, and instead took a jibe at other heroes who actually remain typecast their entire career.

Pointing at how he has done enough varied characters, he said, “Ive done four gangster roles and Ill do two more. (laughs) Why dont you ask this question to the hero, that why does he do the same role in every film? He is the one whos been typecast. Which hero has done something new? For the entire 35 years in all the films, the one who only does hero roles is the biggest typecast. Ive only done four films with gangster roles and everyone keeps asking me this. Ive done a cop role, Im doing Manto, its only me who is doing different things.”
