Nawazuddin Siddiqui, an acclaimed actor known for his versatile roles, recently shared that he played a key role in preparing Ranveer Singh for his debut in 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. Siddiqui, who was recognized for his mentorship, explained that he showed Singh various ways to utilize his acting capabilities, emphasizing that the ultimate performance came from Singh himself.
