Studio wanted bigger star over Nawazuddin Siddiqui for Gangs of Wasseypur

A famous director named Anurag Kashyap was making a movie called Gangs of Wasseypur.

The company helping to pay for the movie was worried that an actor named Nawazuddin Siddiqui wasn't famous enough to be the main character.

They wanted to replace him with a bigger movie star.

Because they disagreed, the company decided to stop helping to make the movie.

This happened very close to when they were supposed to start filming.

The director had to figure out how to keep making the movie without them, even giving up his own pay to make it happen.

This movie later became very famous, and it was a big break for Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
