Summary
- Low-budget film releasing in nearly 100 theaters.
- Nawazuddin plays a retired banker dreaming of acting.
- Filmed with experimental techniques via video calls.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is set to star in 'Main Actor Nahin Hoon,' an ambitious film made on a budget of Rs 1.5 crore. Despite its modest financial backing, the movie is scheduled for a wide release across nearly 100 theaters in major metropolitan areas, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune. This release, planned for May 8, highlights a strategy to bring impactful storytelling to a broad audience.
Directed by Aditya Kripalani, the film introduces a cast of emerging talents alongside Siddiqui. The production involved shooting primarily in Frankfurt with a small crew, complemented by scenes filmed in Mumbai. An experimental filming approach was employed, where actors participated in scenes simultaneously through video calls.
'Main Actor Nahin Hoon' centers on a retired banker, brought to life by Siddiqui, who harbors a strong desire to become an actor. This role adds to Siddiqui's recent exploration of diverse characters. He was previously seen in 'Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders' and 'Costao,' both released on OTT platforms in late 2025.
