Career
Nawab Shah debuted his acting carrier in 1993 Doordarshan Serial, "Akbar The Great" as Babar. Later he acted in popular serials like "Shaktimaan" on DD National in 1997 and "Indian" on SAB TV in 1999.
In 2000 Shah worked with director Rajeev Kumar in Raja Ko Rani Se Pyar Ho Gaya. The film had Arvind Swamy and Manisha Koirala in the leads. Shah's performance went unnoticed.[3]
His next film Be-Lagaam failed at the box office. Ujjal Chattopadhyay's Escape from Taliban was the first film which had given Shah a chance to "prove his talent". The story was more focused on Manisha Koirala, but Shah's performance was praised. It was a box office failure.[3]
Parwana, Woh, and Dukaan met with the same fate. Shah's wait for recognition was prolonged. His performances in Farhan Akhtar's Lakshya and Saurabh Shukla's Chehraa fetched some praise, but he was not getting pivotal roles.[3]
In 2011, Nawab Shah was signed to play a villain in Salman Khan's Bodyguard. He, however, had an accident and was unable to continue with the film.[2] Later that year, he played another negative role as Jabbar, in Don 2, which starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead.[1] His performance was praised, and the film became a high commercial success.[4] Shah later appeared in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag as a Pakistani athletics coach. He recently played a role in Dilwale, as Raghav, one of Dev Malik's henchmen.[5][6]
