After playing the role of villain in his earlier movie 'Kick', Nawazuddin Siddiqui is now all set to play a dacoit in his next film. The film titled as 'The Confession Of Sultana Daku' will be directed by Heeraz Marfatia and will be produced by a British production house Beautiful Bay Entertainment.

The film is an adaptation of a book penned by Sujit Saraf on the life of UP dacoits in the pre-independence period. A leading daily quoted Heeraz Marfatia's statement, "Nawaz has lived and dream stories of Sultana Daku since he was a child. In a way, he has been preparing to play this character his entire life without even knowing it. Kids today have super heroes they look up to and Sultana was a super hero to me. On dark winter nights when my family would be snug under a warm 'razai' (rug), with candle being the only source of light and the threat of modern dacoits in my village, Sultana would come to life in my father's stories as the real Daku. Unlike these criminals who terrorised us, Sultana always took a stand," he concluded.

The film will go on floors next year.
