Nawazuddin will play the brilliant and unbending medical genius in this yet-to-be-titled show. He will be taking over the role of Hugh Laurie, who originally played Dr. Gregory House in the American medical drama.
The original show, created by David Shore, ran for eight seasons from 2004 to 2012. It followed the life of Dr. Gregory House, a misanthropic, cynical medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians despite his own complications.
The Sacred Games actor was thrilled to hear the script and was immediately onboard. This will mark his comeback after a six-year-long hiatus from the big screen and OTT.
Apart from the Indian adaptation of House, Nawazudding Siddiqui has a few films lined up. He is currently shooting for Netflix`s Raat Akleli Hai season 2 alongside Chitrangada Singh and Radhika Apte.
He has finished shooting for Maddock Films` Thama, co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna. He also has some more films in the kitty, like `Bole Chudiyaan’ and ‘Noorani Chehra’, and Bhavesh Mandalia’s ‘Lion King.’.
