The Gadar – Ek Prem Katha director is even more thrilled about the fact that he gets to work with Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Undoubtedly, as the team gears up for the film, now we got a few tidbits of information from an excited filmmaker who is super-excited about Genius.
Speaking on the same, now we hear that Nawazuddin Siddiqui will play the role of a businessman MRS in Genius. Also, Utkarsh and Nawaz are said to be brilliant geniuses but both of them have a grey shade to their personality. Furthermore, Anil is all praises for Siddiqui’s acting skills.

He had full faith in Nawaz and after several telephonic conversations, talks and discussions; the actor was roped in for the film. Further, Anil was happy about the fact that whilst shooting Nawaz added his own share of nuances and even further developed the character with finesse.

And later, by February, he had wrapped up the shoot after schedules in Mumbai, Indore, Maheshwar and Mauritius.
