Anurag Kashyap said, “At that time Rajpal Yadav had come to Mumbai, but he kept leaving the city for some reason. Actually, that time Black Friday actor Ashraf-ul-Haq recommended Rajpal Yadav to me. Remembering Ashraf’s words, I wanted to talk to Rajpal, for which we reached the railway station to meet him. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was also at the railway station with Rajpal. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was standing holding Rajpal Yadav’s suitcase. That’s how I met Nawazuddin.
The role of porter was given to Rajpal
Anurag continued, “Then I told Rajpal that we want to cast you in the film ‘Shool’, in which you will play the role of a coolie. Rajpal then agreed to the film and this film gave him his big break in Hindi cinema. ,
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has got the role of a waiter
Anurag continues, “After Rajpal was offered his role in the 1999 film ‘Shool’, Nawaz also started requesting roles. Nawaz told me that he has no money to eat, so he will do any role in this film. Nawaz was a waiter in a scene in the film with Manoj (Bajpayee) and Raveena (Tandon). If you see, Nawaz was very thin at that time.
