Over four decades, he has impressed everyone with his acting skills, portraying a variety of characters.

He explained the reason behind this.
Why does Naseeruddin Shah not want to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award?
Recently, Imtiaz Ali’s film “Main Wapas Aaunga” completed 50 days of theatrical release. A success party was held for the film to mark the occasion. The film’s star, Naseeruddin Shah, also attended the party. He shared some anecdotes related to the film and his career. The actor said, “I’ve been offered a Lifetime Achievement Award several times recently, but I flatly declined. I believe a Lifetime Achievement Award is a way to tell someone that their work is over. I have no intention of accepting it right now. I don’t feel like my work is over yet.”
How much did “I’ll Be Back” make?
Based on the deeply emotional story of Partition, “Main Wapas Aaunga” was well-received by fans. Initially, the film’s earnings were slow, but it later picked up and generated significant revenue. According to SACNILC reports, the film has completed 50 days of its theatrical release. In just 50 days, the film has crossed ₹1 billion (approximately $1.5 billion). It was a superhit. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the film stars Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari Wagh, Vedang Raina, and Rajat Kapoor.
