Sidharth Malhotra was last seen on the big screen Marjaavaan which went on to become a hit at the box office. The actor’s next release is Shershaah, but apart from this film, Sidharth has no films right now that have been officially announced.
There have been reports of him starring in a South remake, and now, according to a recent report in a tabloid, the actor will be seen in the Hindi remake of Tamil film Thadam. A source said, “Sidharth plays a double role for the first time in his career, a businessman and a small-time thief and gambler always looking to make a quick buck. The film is currently in prep and the team is working towards creating two distinct looks for him.”
The remake is said to be produced by Murad Khetani who had also produced Kabir Singh, a remake of Arjun Reddy. The source said, “Thadam is inspired by a real-life story and got a lot of appreciation for its twists and turns which result in an unexpected climax. The team feels it has the potential to appeal to a Hindi-speaking audience.”
The makers are planning to rope in an A-list actress to play the female lead. Reportedly, the film will start rolling in May this year.
During the promotions of Marjaavaan, when Sidharth was asked about starring in a South remake, he had said that he is in talks for it. The actor had stated, “They make some really good entertaining films with good concepts and we have recently seen the result of one (Kabir Singh). I have seen a few for action and I am in talks, if something might happen I will announce it soon.”
Talking about Shershaah, the movie, which also stars Kiara Advani, is slated to release on 3rd July 2020.
