I got carried away while playing the drums-Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Deep cut, profuse bleeding, panic on location —
Nawazuddin Siddiqui experienced all of this on the while shooting last
week for Kushan Nandy’s Babumoshai Bandookbaaz in Malihabad near
Lucknow. Now recovering and raring to get back to work Nawaz recounts
the experience with a shudder. “It was bad. We were in a place with
limited medical facility when it happened. For a sequence I had to play a
tin drum with my bare hands. I suppose I got carried away and began to
pound it so hard that my hand suffered a deep wound and required
stitches. And since the tin was rusted I had to take anti-tetanus
injections as well.” Not that the experience has taught Nawaz to be more
careful. “Caution is not a primary consideration when I am doing a
scene. I sometimes get so carried away I don’t know what I am doing to
myself. Injuries will happen. They are part and parcel of the process of
getting into the character.”
On a more cheerful note, Nawaz is all praise for his Babumoshai Bandookbaaz co-star Bidita Bag who replaced Chitrangada Singh after she suddenly walked out of the film. Nawaz says Bidita is a blessing. “Woh kehte hain na, jo hota hai achcha ke liye hota hai (whatever happens, is for the best). Bidita is perfect for the part. She’s a pleasure to work with. She understands her character instinctively and gives a 100 per cent of her concentration to every scene.”
