Sidharth Malhotra might topline Anees Baazmee's next

While his contemporary, Varun Dhawan, who started his career along with him with Karan Johar's Student Of The Year, is going places, actor Sidharth Malhotra is having a tough time in establishing his position in the industry. His last few films haven't performed well at the box office, and that is a great cause of worry for the actor.

He had a lot of hopes from his recent release, Aiyaari. However, despite being mounted on such a large scale with celebrated filmmaker Neeraj Pandey calling the shots, the movie fell flat at the cash counter, incurring heavy losses to the makers.


The latest we hear that filmmaker Anees Bazmee, who is known for his hit comic capers like Welcome, Welcome Back, Singh Is King and many more, has approached Sidharth to star in his next untitled project. Though all details related to the project are being kept under the wraps, some sources reveal that the actor might start working on Bazmee's film after completing the Vikram Batra biopic.

Besides the biopic on Vikram Batra, Sidharth has also signed the Hindi remake of the Kannada film Kirik Party.
