Sidharth Malhotra is talks to topline T-Series’ next

It has been more than a year since Sidharth Malhotra has not graced the silver screen. He was last seen in renowned filmmaker Neeraj Pandey’s espionage thriller Aiyaary (2018), which hit the silver screen in February last year. However, now the handsome star has his films lined up for release at regular intervals.

Sidharth Malhotra is presently busy promoting his upcoming film Jabariya Jodi which pairs him opposite Parineeti Chopra. The comic-caper reunites both the actors after their 2014 hit Hasee Toh Phasee. Malhotra is also shooting for Dharma Productions’ next Shershaah, co-starring Kiara Advani.


The latest we hear that Sidharth Malhotra is in early negotiations for yet another interesting film. To be made under the banner of T-Series Films, the said project is a family drama. The actor has reportedly shown his interest in the project and may even sign it on the dotted line soon.

Spilling some beans, a source close to the development tells an entertainment portal, “Sidharth has been offered another big project. It’s a social drama about a family that will be bankrolled by T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar. It is designed very commercially but will give out a strong message about an issue that plagues our society at large. Sidharth has heard the script and liked it. He has also liked the way it has been designed like a massy entertainer. He wants to do more films in the space that will reach out to a bigger audience base.”

The source goes on to add, “The actor will sit for another round of narration with the director. It’s being helmed by an ad filmmaker who is also a first time director. Sid has loved the idea of the film and is mostly going to give it a green signal.”

Besides Jabariya Jodi and Shershaah, Sidharth Malhotra also headlines Milap Zaveri’s actioner Marjaavaan with Rakul Preet Singh and Tara Sutaria in lead roles.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
