Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sejal Shah on Challenges of Bringing True Heroism to Screen for ZEE5 Global’s ‘Costao’: ‘It’s About Bravery, Honesty, Discipline and Suffering’


Star Nawazuddin Siddiqui and director Sejal Shah discuss bringing the true story of a heroic Goan customs officer to ZEE5 Global in 'Costao.'

The film chronicles Goan customs officer Costao Fernandes, who made history by intercepting a massive gold smuggling operation in the 1990s only to find his life destroyed when he killed a politically-connected perpetrator in self-defense. After eight years as a journalist with The Week, she studied filmmaking at the New York Film Academy and directed documentaries before transitioning to producing with her company Bombay Fables, alongside writer Bhavesh Mandalia. Looking ahead, Siddiqui reveals he’s currently working on several projects including “Thama,” “Raat Akeli Hai Part 2” and “Section 108.”
