Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his challenging roles, is set to portray the controversial Assamese judge Upendra Nath Rajkhowa in his upcoming film. The actor, who has previously left a mark in films like 'Gangs of Wasseypur II' and 'Sacred Games,' is also producing this project.

In an exclusive discussion with ANI, Siddiqui revealed his unique approach to storytelling in this film. 'I'm producing a film on Upendra Nath Rajkhowa, a judge in Assam, whose story has sparked much discussion. I don't want to take the 'typical' approach; I aim to create scenes with depth, focusing on one man's thoughts,' he said.

Elaborating on his character, Siddiqui shared, 'My role involves an educated man who murders his wife and three children. I want to explore the mind of such a person.' The film is inspired by the true story of Rajkhowa, sentenced to death in 1970 for the murder of his family, a case that still intrigues people today.
