After a series of duds, Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra finally delivered a box-office hit in the form of Marjaavaan (2019). Also starring Tara Sutaria, Rakul Preet Singh and Riteish Deshmukh in important roles, the romantic drama hit the right chord with the single screen audience and turned out to be a good money spinner at the cash counter. After the success of Marjaavaan, Malhotra has been offered a couple of interesting projects.
The latest buzz has it that the actor has been signed on to topline the Hindi remake of a successful Telugu film. While the makers are still busy procuring the rights of the original, we hear that Sid is also in talks with T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar for an action entertainer. If the actor decides to come onboard, the project will reunite him with Marjaavaan director Milap Zaveri. Milap is currently busy scripting the untitled film.
“Recently, Bhushan approached Sidharth with a new action film which is being scripted by Milap. Sid has shown interest in the subject and the makers are working towards developing the script further,” a source close to the development informs a publication.
Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra will next be seen in Dharma Productions’ much-talked-about film Shershaah. Directed by debutant filmmaker Vishnuvardhan, the upcoming movie is based on the life of Captain Vikram Batra, an officer of the Indian Army who lost his life in the 1999 Kargil War. Besides Malhotra, the biographical drama also features Kiara Advani in the lead role. The makers are yet to announce the official release date of Shershaah.
