Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Nawazuddin Siddiqui has shot an episode of the comedy show India's Got Latent with host Samay Raina and Bhuvan Bam. The episode is expected to release soon on the show's platform. The appearance puts the actor, known for dramatic roles in films and web series, in a more informal setting. Siddiqui recently completed a US tour of his stage play Naqaab and has resumed shooting for the sequel Tumbbad 2 in Satara. The confirmation comes from a source close to the production. No release date has been announced yet.
