Tharun Bhascker treats this actor from Mumbai as his role model
Tharun Bhascker has done reasonably well in front of the camera though he suggests he enjoys the process of directing much more. When Filter Kaapi asked Tharun who his role model is when it came to acting, he was clear it is Nawazuddin Siddiqui and no one else. 

“I have set my benchmark only as Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He is the standard to go to. He has a sense of belief that he is not acting. The moment you say action, that man simply zaps into character. That child-like mentality is very mesmerising to see on screen. And everytime I act, I try to cut off from everything and be very child-like in my imagination because that is my standard. I follow his method of acting or atleast, what I perceive of it,” says Tharun.
