to superstar Shah Rukh Khan for mentoring
him and showing him the path to be a
better actor while working together on My
Name Is Khan.
In an appearance on Zoom's Yaar Mera
Superstar Season 2, Sidharth spoke about
Shah Rukh and his forthcoming film Aiyaary,
read a statement.
Sidharth Malhotra Thanks Shah Rukh Khan
For This Reason
"I was an assistant director for the film My
Name Is Khan and Shah Rukh Sir shared
useful tips on his mantra to being
successful in the competitive glamour
industry of Bollywood, Sidharth said.
"He shared valuable advice on paying
attention to detail, absorbing and using the
props around to enhance one's
performance. My experience was enriching
and it was The Best Film school' filled with
fun, confusion, goof ups and a lot of hard
work. I am grateful for the experience and
thankful to SRK for shaping me into a better
actor, added the A Gentleman star. The
episode will air on Saturday.
Sidharth Malhotra, who plays a pivotal role
in Aiyaary also feels the clash between the
movie and Akshay Kumar's Padman could
have been avoided. But he says he can only
hope for the best now.
Aiyaary, which has a patriotic vibe, was
originally slated for release on January 25 to
make the most of the long Republic Day
weekend. It was clashing with Padman.
But after Padmaavat got a final release date
of January 25, the makers of Aiyaary moved
its release to February 9 to avoid clashing
with it and Padman.
However, Akshay Kumar, as a move in
support of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and to let
Padmaavat get a solo release, shifted
Padman to February 9, bringing the
situation back to square one clashing
with Aiyaary.
Asked about it, Sidharth told IANS: "Yes, it
irritates, but now it's too late. What can we
do now? Look, we announced the date first.
When Padman makers unveiled their
release date, we were gracious enough to
shift our release date to avoid the clash.
