At the award show held recently, Nawazuddin received a Special Mention in the Best Performance category for his role in Anurag Kashyap’s “Raman Raghav 2.0.” The 42-year-old actor says there are some films which get tremendous acclaim at international awards but are not able to do that well commercially, and feels it is something which will change with time.

“There are certain films which get a lot of acclaim outside, including ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’ which got me an award too. So some films are appreciated a lot outside but unfortunately here (it may not work). But it’ll happen, it will take time,” he said.
