National Award-winning actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who plays crimelord Ganesh Gaitonde in the forthcoming Sacred Games Netflix series, says the team knew that creatively, they had to bring the best on the table with the show.

Sacred Games is an eight-episode show based on Vikram Chandra's similarly titled book. It is directed by Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap. Asked if the series format of storytelling changed his performance as an actor, Nawazuddin told IANS: "The script was written with a lot of details and because the story told in eight episodes, which means an eight-hour show... As an actor, I got a chance to go close to the character.
