It's quality over quantity for Naseeruddin Shah, a versatile actor who has spent 35 years breathing life into innumerable, well-etched out characters on the big screen.
The National Award winner admits he is getting better roles now than ever, but he picks a film only if he has "faith" in it and his "instinct" pushes him to go for it! "It is extremely gratifying, flattering almost, that so many young people find place for me in their films. I'm probably being offered better parts now than I was being offered five years ago or for that matter in my 35-year-old career," Naseeruddin, 65, told IANS in an interview. Naseer has given memorable performances in films "Ijaazat", "Sparsh", "Aakrosh", "Karma" and "Masoom", to name a few. But in recent times, he has been proving his versatility over and over again without bothering about the screen time he gets. Whether it was the role of a cricket coach in " Iqbal", a common man ready to change the system in "A Wednesday", a conman in "Ishqiya" or a painter in " Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", he carried out every role with aplomb.
