Mumbai, Feb 12 (Ians) Nawazuddin Siddiqui has wrapped up the shoot of his upcoming film ‘Section 108’ with a cake-cutting ceremony alongside the entire crew.
The film, with a stellar cast that includes Arbaaz Khan and Regina Cassandra, is helmed by Rasikh Khan and produced by Cinemawala Productions.
Nawazuddin plays an insurance claims lawyer, Tahoor Khan, brought in after a billionaire, essayed by Arbaaz, disappears. He is presumed to be dead by the court, but the insurance company required to pay the claims due to his family, believes it is a fraud. Cassandra will be seen in the role of Shikha Saxena, an executive of the insurance company.
Additional details of the plot are being kept under wraps. With filming now completed, post-production work is expected to commence soon.
The movie’s title is presumably inspired by Section 108 of the Indian Penal Code, which relates to the abetment of crime.

Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub is one actor who commands equal prowess in intense dramatic roles as well as his comic timing. Be it his razor sharp delivery as Murari Gupta in the Dhanush-starrer ‘Raanjhanaa’ or his heartbreakingly funny appearance in ‘Jannat 2’, the actor holds the pulse of timing and never misses a beat.
The actor revealed how he has been able to cultivate the perfect comic timing or what has shaped his sense of humour.
The actor said: “I feel your comic timing or your sense of humour, in totality, depends on your conditioning. I belong to a lower-middle class family, and was born and raised in Okhla village. Humour is the only thing which keeps us alive there and it is really important. So, you have to be really active and be participating in that form of humour.

Haddi begins with a saree-clad Nawazuddin Siddique sharpening a blade and delivering dialogue in his unique ominous tone. Thus begins the journey of this film. Where else have we seen Nawazuddin being used to start a movie or a film with a voiceover? Yes, Sacred Games was that show, where Nawaz’s character, Ganesh Gaitonde, brought terror to our screens. Haddi is based in a similar universe, where gruesome violence is commonplace, and brutality is just a word. The only reality is power and money. Somewhere, Akshat Ajay Sharma, the director of the film, managed to introduce themes revolving around the lives of sexual minorities in the story. It’s great to see a film with great performances, that bring to the screen topics and characters, that have been seldom talked about. But is gangster-revenge-Drama the apt genre for these characters? Akshat seems to be so heavily inspired by Anurag Kashyap...

The best thing about this maara-maari-thon is, no not Shah Rukh Khan (he’s beyond human evaluation of excellence) but Deepika Padukone. She shows up in this exacerbated show of flamboyant showmanship post midpoint and instantly lights up the screen with her luminous presence.
Wish she didn’t have to go. Sadly all good things must come to an end. Deepika’s exit ushers in another wave of indescribably kinetic action scenes, some of them on the road, others in confined spaces where the atmosphere is so sullen, I wished Deepika would turns up again to bring a bit sunshine into the glum.
Jawan is a bit like dipping your feet into a slushy toxic pond. You know it will sully you indelibly, but you can’t help it. There is so much here to celebrate , and the characters keep bursting into dances to Anirudh Ravichander’s cacophonic songs...

Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui impressed the audience with his first look as a transgender in the upcoming film, ‘Haddi’. The picture soon went viral and netizens lavished praise on the actor as they were awestruck by his look.
