Versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who shone bright even in supporting roles is happy that he has got to play read roles in some recent movies. However, he says it's not a priority for him.

"I am doing solo films, but the thing is that the script should be interesting. I am not looking forward to do only lead roles. Doing lead roles is not the priority at all for me. The script should be interesting and engaging," Nawazuddin, whose latest release is "Raman Raghav 2.0", told IANS.

The actor feels fortunate that many filmmakers want to work with him.

"It feels great that many filmmakers have appreciated my work and want to work with me. I am getting more work, but as an actor you have to be choosy at times and selective about your work," he added.

Nawazuddin's performance as a serial killer in "Raman Raghav 2.0" has been highly appreciated.
