Nawazuddin Siddiqui's social media accounts have had several of his followers compare his role in his recent release, Raman Raghav 2.0, to Heath Ledger's Joker act in The Dark Knight (2008).

When the film premiered at the Cannes film festival last month, critics and film lovers were so impressed by his performance that they drew parallels between him and Anthony Hopkins in the Hannibal (2001).

That Nawaz is happy is an understatement; he is walking on air.
