After graduating in science from a local college, he worked as a chemist in a petrochemical company for a short while. But boredom set in soon, and he moved to Delhi, here in the next one and a half year period, he started watching plays, while working a watchman at an office. He got associated with Sakshi Theatre Group and worked with actors like Manoj Bajpai and Saurabh Shukla. [5][1][2]

Eventually he graduated from the The National School of Drama (NSD), New Delhi in 1996 Source : http://www.nsd.gov.in/alumni2.asp?id=1996.

Career

After passing out of NSD, he worked with street theatre in Delhi, for the next four years eventually shifting base to Mumbai in 2000[1], along with NSD batchmates like, Vijay Raaz and Rajpal Yadav.[5][6][7]

Nawazuddin made his Bollywood debut in 1999, with a small role in Aamir Khan starrer, Sarfarosh.[8][9] After moving to Mumbai he tried to get work in television serials, but did not achieve much success.[10][11] After his debut, he appeared in minor roles, where he remained largely unnoticed, despite his strong performances. [3] He did a short film The Bypass in 2003, where he appeared with actor, Irrfan Khan.[12] Beyond that between 2002-05, he was largely out of work, and lived in a flat he shared with four other people, and survived by conducting occasional acting workshops.[10] His appearance in Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday (2007) paved way for other powerful roles. In 2009, he appeared in a cameo role in hit song "emotional attyachar" in the movie Dev D in his moniker as Rangila along with his duo Rasila (known together as Patna ke Presley). However it was his role of a journalist in Aamir Khan Productions's Peepli Live (2010), that first got him recognition as an actor.[13] This was followed by a role as police informer Gopi in biopic, Paan Singh Tomar also in the same year.[2]

He however became a household name post Kahaani (2012), where he played the archetypal short tempered cop Khan.[14] Gangs of Wasseypur followed which furthered his fame. [15] Nawazuddin played the lead role in the upcoming films, Gangs of Wasseypur - Part II and Aatma.[16] He will be appearing in Aamir Khan's 2012 release, Talash.
