For the first time ever, a supporting actor in a Salman Khan garnered enough claps, wolf whistles and praise as much as Salman himself. Nawazuddin Siddiqui's villainous outing in Kick has impressed one and all giving him his first big commercial hit. In a freewheeling chat with Tellychakkar.com, Nawazuddin shared his happiness post the release of Kick.

Did you expect such a response for your performance in Kick?

To be honest, I never expected such an overwhelming response. Sajid Nadiadwala is the one who conceived this character and it's quirkiness. I remember telling Sajid bhai that if it didn't work he should shoulder the responsibility for the same.

Were you not very confident of your character doing well?

Well, I didn't have that much confidence to be honest. So I just went with what Sajid bhai told me. I told him I will do whatever you want me to but if this doesn't work please don't blame me.

What's the biggest compliment that you have received?

The phone hasn't stopped ringing. Even on social media sites there is a lot of buzz. I have been told that audience after coming out of theaters have been imitating my devilish laugh. That for me is the biggest compliment to see my fans imitating my performance.

Normally, superstars never allow side actors to flourish. But Salman seems to have given you a great leeway to flourish. How much credit would you give Salman for the same?

You are absolutely right. I will give the entire credit to him. He is not an insecure actor. I will rate him way ahead of all other actors I have worked with. He is a really honest actor. There is nothing pretentious about him.

Is this the kind response you dreamed about in Bollywood?

I had never thought about it anytime. In fact, I never had any dream of becoming a star. All I knew was how to act and my aim was to find work and do it honestly. I have faced so many ups and downs in my life that I had lost hope. I used to be happy with the small work that I used to get. I had lost all expectations of doing something big ever. So whatever has been happening is quite unexpected.

How do you see this response benefiting you as an actor?

I hope my upcoming small films are benefited. The way my performance has been appreciated in this massy film, I hope audience come and see my small films and appreciate me in those films as well if they like my work. I want my small films to be promoted well. The masses who love such commercial films, I want them to watch my small films too.

You have acted with Aamir Khan and now Salman Khan. Is Shah Rukh Khan next on your list?

If there is a great character that suits me in Shah Rukh saab's film, I will certainly do it.

Would you like to do an out-and-out masala movie as a hero?

I would like to do an out and out romantic movie. As an actor I want to explore all genres. I don't want to stick to one genre.
