Having debuted on screen in 1975 with Shyam Benegal's 'Nishaant', Naseer became one of the most important actors of the Indian parallel cinema with movies such as 'Sparsh', 'Mirch Masala', 'Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyon Ata Hai', 'Trikal', 'Bhavni Bhavai', 'Junoon', 'Mandi', 'Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho!', 'Paar' and 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron'. In this decade, he has been part of many acclaimed movies such as 'Hey Ram', 'Monsoon Wedding', 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen', 'Maqbool', 'Krrish', 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' and 'A Wednesday'.
Shah has been appreciated universally for his clean, clinical portrayals. As "The Common Man/Anonymous Caller" in 'A Wednesday', Naseer behaves and emotes so naturally that you might ask "Where is the actor? Where is the acting?"
Says Shah: "I did not want to be slotted. I have rejected 10 times the number of films I have done. I have played the hero running around trees and a villain and a father."
