Nawazuddin Siddiqui charged just Re.1 for Haraamkhor!

Shlok Sharma directorial debut, the Nawazuddin-Shweta starrer, Haraamkhor which, after facing multiple regulatory hurdles for almost 3 years, has at last hit theatres.  It was made on a super-tight budget of just Rs.1 Crore. Keeping the budget in mind, and having true belief in the movie, Nawazuddin Siddiqui charged just a minimal token amount of Re.1 as a full and final payout for the efforts that he has given in for the movie.

“Nawaz and everyone on the project worked on minimal money or no money at all. Ours is a passion project and we did everything we could to get the film made. Nawaz loved the script and insisted to work pro bono on the film understanding the limitations of the budget overall,” informed Guneet Monga, co-producer of the movie.

“He was sweet to only charge one rupee from us literally as a token of his efforts. His support and work made the film possible!” he added. The film is jointly produced by Monga and Anurag Kashyap.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui isn’t such a Haraamkhor after all, is he now?
