I’d rather stay home or do something else than go to work on something I don’t enjoy. In an interview he did with me in 2017, Siddharth declared, “It takes time to make films that satisfy me at the stage I’m in. Siddharth was apparently being offered a fee close to Rs 2 crore! But he wasn’t talking about his price, let alone doing the avalanche of films being offered to him. Such …err… cocky conviction for an actor who, at that point of time, had been in the Tamil blockbuster 'Boys' (2003), and the Telugu hit, 'Nuvvostanante Nenodannatana' (2004). At the end of the day, you’ve to look yourself in the eye.” There’s no point in doing work that makes you unhappy. The only problem,” he revealed shyly after the release of 'Rang De Basanti', “is that I’m very picky. Siddharth was practical enough to realise there wasn’t a clamour by filmmakers waiting for him in Bollywood.

In 2006 everyone was asking, who’s that dark brooding guy in 'Rang De Basanti'? Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra chose him to play the confused capitalist Karan Singhania because of his vulnerable boyish looks.īut back then, Siddharth had no intentions of moving bags and baggage to Mumbai to pursue a career. In 2022, everyone is asking who is this motor-mouthed, self-opinionated Tamil actor,whose cocky tweet responding to badminton champ Saina Nehwal has landed him in a soup?
