Nawazuddin Siddiqui wishes to change the name of Bollywood as it is inspired by West

One of the finest actors of Bollywood, Nawazuddin Siddiqui who was recently seen in Serious Men has been appreciated for his acting skills everywhere. Not only Bollywood, but also Hollywood has recognized his inner talent and has tried to approach the actor. But Siddiqui says that he isn’t dying to get a validation from there. He also feels that as the name of Bollywood is inspired from the west, it should be changed.

In a recent interview with a news channel, Nawazuddin Siddiqui stated, “Yes, I want to change one thing, the name ‘Bollywood’ itself. Yeh jo udhaar ka naam le rakha hai, sabse pehle humein yeh badalna chahiye.” He also admittedthat many a times actors are only confirmed to be good actors only after getting a validation from the west. “Yes, this is a fact. A lot of my films would go to international festivals, and even get awards, but when they would release here, they wouldn’t get much response. It’s only when they get the validation from West,” said the actor.

Speaking about his views on being offered Hollywood movies, Nawazuddin said, “Offers do come, but it’s just not materialising. Aisa nahi hai ki mara jaa raha hoon, ya thappa lagega unka tab jaake actor kehlaunga. I am not dependent on that, and neither do I want to be. I want my films to go to the West and tell them that we are no less.”
