A
student that’s grown to be a finest actor and handsome man who girls drool over
to say Baar Baar Dekho. South Delhi boy, sports enthusiastic but not so inclined
towards textbooks, Sidharth Malhotra had all the qualities to make it big in
Bollywood. However, as perceived as the blue-eyed boy of Karan Johar, it was
not an easy journey for this young lad. It was not that Sidharth landed in
Mumbai with just dreams, he had an offer in hand which made him shift his base
to the city. Anubhav Sinha, the director of the successful film – ‘Tum Bin’ was
making another film with newcomers and Sidharth Malhotra being one of the leads
was confirmed. That not only elated him but also made him push his parents to
allow him to shift to Mumbai and take up acting as a profession. But things didn’t
go as it looked like and Sidharth Malhotra tasted failure even before success
could show his face to him. Destiny turned villain and Anubhav Sinha shelved
the film that he promised the young actor to go ahead and make RA. One with
Superstar – Shahrukh Khan. Depressed with the major halt in his career but angrier
on the fact that the Director didn’t even inform them about his decision to withdraw
the venture. Gathering his courage, Sidharth tried to pull out his contacts in
the industry whoever he met during his course of modelling or preparation for
Anubhav Sinha Film. Karan Johar being one of the Director he met during his
short stint, Sidharth landed at Dharma Productions, not for an audition but to
ask for an opportunity to be on the set of a film to learn the nuances of film
making. His first step on a film set was
for the song Desi Girl from Dostana as Farah Khan wanted more assistant
director’s as she was the Dance Director for the chartbuster. Post which Sidharth
Malhotra worked as an assistant director on ‘My Name is Khan’ along with his
other student counterpart Varun Dhawan. Though carrying the image of calm,
composed, reserved and obedient person, Sidharth Malhotra did bunk shoot days
to attend one day modelling photoshoot assignments that could easily earn him
money enough to pay almost 3 month’s rent in Mumbai. However, his efforts didn’t
go in vain as he became one the actors that Karan Johar launched in his
directorial venture. While Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan came from film families,
Sidharth Malhotra – a non-industry person made a mark on his own and made
everyone notice him to say – Kukkad Kamaal Da !!!
