The versatile and talented actor of Bollywood Nawazuddin Siddiqui is easily one of the busiest stars in the industry. The Gangs of Wasseypur actor, who impressed us with his mind-boggling performance in the recent Netflix series Sacred Games is currently Rome shooting for actress turned director Tannishtha Chatterjee’s debut directorial venture. Now the makers have roped in Italian actress Valentia Corti to play a pivotal role in the film. Nawaz introduced to us through his Twitter account by posting a selfie with her and captioning it, “Ye Ladki mere ‘ रोम रोम में ‘ hai”. Since the plot and character details are kept under the wraps, we are not sure she’ll be pairing opposite Nawaz or not.
