A Quote by Hiten Tejwani

There are so many roles that actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui or Manoj Bajpayee or Irrfan have done. And they make every character iconic. They are the masters of their art... I want to be like that.
I don't approach my character in a set pattern. I want to get into the skin of the character. I don't love Manoj Bajpayee; I love all my characters. And that is why people today remember all my roles.
I am not Padma Shri Manoj Bajpayee. I am Manoj Bajpayee, an outsider who saw dreams and stayed on the fringes of Mumbai and worked day and night to get work.
I admire many actors, including Amitabh Bacchhan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Irfan Khan, and many more.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the best actor because his choice of roles are so diametrically opposite from each other, and he pulls it off almost every time so convincingly.
Not many people know that it was Manoj Bajpayee who recommended me for a role in 'Aks.'
At first, I was worried sharing screen with an actor like Nawazuddin Siddiqui, because he is a remarkable actor and an outstanding person.
As a young actor, I was advised to bide my time. Back then, there weren't good roles for someone like me. There were handsome leading men and character actors for smaller supporting roles. But I was told to hang in there, and it was good advice. We're all character actors now. Even a handsome man is a character actor at my age.
Manoj Bajpayee is a husband, a father, and an actor. He doesn't see his life beyond that.
I was introduced to the world of films by Manoj Bajpayee and trained under theatre actor Makrand Deshpande.
I love Sanjeev Kumar's cop portion in 'Sholay.' Manoj Bajpayee in 'Shool' was also amazing.
I want to play everything. I want to be like Christian Bale: I want to be able to be Batman and then, like, his character in 'The Fighter.' That is what is so impressive about really good actors, that they can be character actors and leading men at the same time.
Yes, I play a cop in Amit Kumar's 'Monsoon Shootout' where Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays the villain.
We live in the golden age of character actors - in an age when actors who have done their time in character roles are frequently asked to carry dark movies and complicated television dramas.
I just want to work and be in films that I like, it is so simple. I think from the outside it seems as though as actors, we are picking and choosing our roles, but it isn't like that at all, perhaps unless you are George Clooney. There are not that many movies I would want to be in.
I am doing a show with Nawazuddin Siddiqui. I am a big fan of his work.
I got offered to do an OTT film with Nawazuddin Siddiqui two years ago that I was uncomfortable doing because it had a nude scene. I was asked why I can't do it again if I did it before, many didn't realize I've actually never gone nude for 'Ice Cream,' it was just a publicity gimmick.
