Nazir who judges character

Before that, at the age of 19, he had already proved himself in a 40-year-old character in the play 'Sunkeshari'. In 'Charandas Chor', he also played a character twice his age. So he asked the team for a second chance, and the next day he spoke again with preparation. After the director Suraj Bhusal was happy to see Nazir's performance, he got the role of Rameshwar Yadav.

Nazir's entry into the film world became a sensation with the performance of this much-loved character from 'Hostel Returns'. Since then, Nazir has been establishing himself as a true actor in every character, big and small. Nazir, who has made his debut as a character actor, is seen in a completely different role this time. In the film 'Gunyocholo', which will be screened from October 9. Nazir is playing the role of a transgender woman in this film, which was earlier titled 'Gulabi'. Doing

challenging characters has always been Nazir's passion. When director Samudra Bhatt presented the script of 'Gunyocholo' to him, he was excited. "It was an opportunity to show how deep I can go in creating a character," he recalled the first moment when he got the offer for the film. Nazir lost 17 kg of weight for this film. The production team thought of shooting the final look of the character, that's when Nazir wore a black saree for the first time. Another actor of the

film, Hotinati (Anupam Shrestha), had made many clothes for her. When wearing a bra with silicone, it felt like someone was grabbing me from behind. It felt like someone had taken away my freedom. But, when I was seen in the final look of the woman during the creation of the character - at that time, I felt that this aspect gave the character more strength and power," said Nazir.

Meeting transsexual women, listening to them and building this character, Nazir felt the tenderness within him. Nazir created this character by realizing the same nature and bringing it to the body and mind. "Through this character, I was able to show the tenderness that I have," he says.

It took him 1 month and 11 days to walk on heels during character creation. At first, walking on heels only shook the hips, gradually the hips also started shaking. While walking in heels in the restaurant where the workshop was taking place, Nazir met his inner pink. After 11 months she became a transgender woman. Having spent two years for

'Gunyocholo', he is very optimistic about this film. "When we were working on the film in Los Angeles, the outside team would appreciate the nuances we noticed in character building. Now I have high expectations of how the Nepali audience will see this character. Let's take a look at a slightly difficult topic," said Nazir.

After extinguishing the character in the sexual and minority community, now looking at this community, Nazir is starting to feel like he has found his own community. They think they are my friends. As an artist, I think I am their friend, a friend who understands them,' he says. Be it Rameshwar Yadav Banda of

Hostel Returns or Raja of 'Razza Rani'. Nazir's understanding of acting at that time was that, as much screen time as he got, he should be seen as much as possible. You should act in the eyes of everyone. How many times did he act loud to attract everyone towards him while doing a short role. However, now Nazir's search for character building has started to be different. In order to get into the depth of the character, he gets involved in the small matters related to it, and picks it up. The excitement of becoming the hero of a commercial film for the first time while doing

'Razza Rani', the excitement of romancing a Kiki Adhikari was different in him. With that enthusiasm, he criticizes the character for being a little too loud. Before 'Razza Rani', Nazir had 'Knotted'. Nazir, who took the Kathmandu ditch to dance, was more greedy to dance with the heroine in the film than the Raja character.

Nazir was surrounded by a crowd when he reached the hall in Janakpur by riding a chariot for the screening of the film. "Rameshwar of Janakpur, returned to Janakpur" shouted the crowd. My father is a Muslim, my mother is a Pahadiya Hindu. And when I was a child, my grandmothers used to say, this is not a Muslim, it looks hilly. I was very happy when you loved me as our son in Janakpur, the son of Janakpur," Nazir remembered that moment.

After Rameshwar Yadav's character became a hit, many filmmakers came to Nazir with 'stereotype' characters. Meanwhile, the filmmakers clashed with the same characters. However, he took the stand of not portraying the Madhesi in a false and superficial way, and not showing the character as a joke, and by rejecting such films, he also upset many filmmakers.

is written with you in mind. It is a character written by looking at hostel returns. We had to speak the dialogue. Speak Bhojpuri with Bhatangbhutung. Filmmakers came that the audience should laugh as soon as your character came,' says Nazir. If a director sees something in me and he can bring that juice out of me, I would prefer to work with such a director.'

Looking back on his debut film, Nazir feels that the Madhesi portrayal of Rameshwar Yadav's character was flawed. Now nobody will say 'no' in the beginning if they bring your character. More attention is paid to the depth of the character. Recently, he acted in a Madhesi character in the film 'Keti Megbo Innoha' made by Dipendra Gauchan, the director of the 'Uzeli' teleserial, after 20 years. Nazir says that he was attracted to the character because the Madhesi character was not wrongly portrayed in the film. I am happy to work with a director who has done a teleserial like Ujeli in such a character. Dipendra dai had initially said, 'Slow down a bit, you look like a gangster. At that time I lost 80 kg.'

In 'Agastya', the way Nazir worked hard to build his character, it was seen on screen. As the film faltered in production, the effort put in by the actors to create the character was not seen. The effort of all of us in the film is amazing. As an artist, I also had my weaknesses. Sometimes we fail in our efforts. Commercially, the film has become a success,' said Nazir, 'but I want the hard work of the artist not to be wasted.' Before Covid, Nazir was busy with one film after another. Mane in 'Veer Vikram', Raja of 'Razzarani' through Bharatraj Mishra in 'Timi Sang'. By the time 'Garuda Purana', 'Kagajapatra', 'Veer Vikram 2' came, the audience had started looking for him. Whether the character is a lead or a supporting character. Nazir, who paired up with Shilpa Maske in 'Kazagapatra', became the lover of Empress Rajyalakshmi Shah in 'Timi Seang'.

But now he is not attracted by the character of dancing on the hill with the heroine. He wants to sink into a character like 'Gulabi' by spending time. I don't know if my presence makes a difference to others, but it makes a difference to me. If I stay, I will film. That's why I had to burn the stove in my house to live. The roof had to be strong. That's why I did those things at that time to survive," said Nazir, remembering the time when he was doing one film after another.

Mane (Man Bahadur Vik) of 'Veer Bikram' is one of the characters played by Nazir. He created this character by looking at a character found in Ramechhap, where the film is being shot. I believe that drama teaches an actor to be multifaceted. Looking for this character I came to the character driving the aran. Looking at that person who was beating the khurpa, I got a physical shock," he said, "The entire film was shot in a single dress after asking for the T-shirt of Renasha Vanthawa Rai's dance assistant.
