Its not about Sid looking ugly...its our worry about how well this new look would turn out...this is a highly ambitious project as far as Sid is concerned,so it wud be upsetting if the experimentation wrong happens in this case..We as fans are willing to see him experiment but how well Indian audiences will adapt to the vast changes especially looks that can be unappealing visually,that was the thought which arose panic in us...Cuz the commercial prospects of this movie is very important not just critical acclaim..
.Actually we have had some bitter experiences in this same forum in past that has created constant negativity in our mind whenever we here Sid is attempting some risky roles 😆 ...HTP got good reviews from all critcis and made profit in B.O...It might not have performed to the level we wanted it to be as there was immense competition from Gunday,lack of promotions etc..The movie got an average verdict and the ppl here held Sid entirely responsible for the fault..the same ppl who said HTP was all about Pari,Pari ate Sid alive were attributing its disappointing performance to Sid...now that didnt make any sense to me,as if Pari was the scene stealer and Sid had only miniscule importance ,how can the B.O verdict be an indication of Sid's B.O pull or star power or w/e? 😆 ..Still Sid was accused and targeted all the way..So now whenever Sid undertakes a project out of his comfort zone,the previous experiences causes a nagging pessimistic feeling in our minds as in what if everthing goes wrong and Sid's career perishes 😆.
But yes! if Sid needs to survive he needs to constantly reinvent himself and make bold decisions...hopefully the movie works out well for him...though the regime is gonna be rigorous as he has to loose all the weight he gained after 6 months for Bhavesh Joshi..Anyway wishing for the best!
