14 years of Gangs Of Wasseypur 2: Nawazuddin Siddiqui on playing Faisal Khan, “I had seen people with Faisal’s attitude in my own village”Gangs of Wasseypur 2 completes 14 years of its theatrical release on August 8, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's portrayal of Faisal Khan continues to be remembered by audiences. Perhaps he had seen glimpses of Faisal Khan in some of my earlier performances.” While he briefly considered drawing inspiration from Marlon Brando and Al Pacino's performances, Nawazuddin said he realised Faisal Khan needed an identity rooted in Indian soil. But then I realised Faisal Khan had to come from a completely different place.” I borrowed those nuances and blended them into my performance to bring Faisal Khan to life.”
