Nawazuddin was last seen in the 2022 action film Heropanti 2. The film also starred Tiger Shroff and Tara Sutaria. He has several projects in the pipeline including Haddi. He will essay the role of a transwoman in Haddi, directed by Akshat Ajay Sharma. Akshat also co-wrote it with Adamya Bhalla.

Recently, Nawazuddin spoke about not taking up small roles even if someone offers him ₹25 crore. “Ab toh aap mujhe 25 crore bhi denge toh bhi main chhota role nahi karunga (Now, I won’t do a small role even if you offer me ₹crore for the part). I feel that money and fame are just by-products of your work. If you just do your job well, money and fame will run after you. If you chase them, you will never find them, so just keep doing good work,” Nawazuddin told ETimes.
