In an interview published in DNA, when asked about whether the time has come again when the villains become as important a part of the movie as the protagonists, Nawaz opines, “Today, the lines have blurred. There are no heroes and villains, there are just characters and that’s how it should be.”

Nawaz is often compared with Irrfan Khan, as far as the acting chops are concerned. But the talented actor holds a different opinion on this. “It gets a bit irritating. He is a very senior actor and I respect him a lot. But I don’t feel good when comparison happens. Each individual is different. By comparing, people are only insulting both is us. Neither are they understanding his craft, nor mine,” says Nawaz. Earlier too, Irrfan has avoided any questions on comparisons with Nawaz.
