Nawazuddin Siddiqui to reprise Chand Nawab in Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2?
In a new interview with Hindustan Times, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was asked about the possibility of a Bajrangi Bhaijaan sequel and also whether he will reprise the role of Chand Nawab or not. He said, “I don’t have any information on a sequel being made. “It (the decision to cast him) depends on them (the makers). I cannot be ‘main first mein tha toh mujhe bhi lo’ (I was in the first, so you need to take me). It doesn’t work like that. Agar unki zaroorat hogi, toh hum haazir ho jayenge. (If they need me, I will be present.)”
