success with his latest release Ittefaq which
is performing well at the box office. The
movie also stars Sonakshi Sinha and
Akshaye Khanna in pivotal roles and has
already collected around INR 4.05 crore on
Day 1.
While talking to Pinkvilla, Sidharth while
talking about his upcoming projects
confirmed being a part of Kargil Martyr
Captain Vikram Batra's biopic. "In the next
two months, I have Aiyaary coming up
alongside Manoj Bajpayee, who is a fabulous
actor. Then there is Vikram Batra's biopic.
So, there are two films and there is another
one which will be announced soon. So I am
pretty excited about the lineup," Sid said.
Earlier, a source had revealed to the daily,
"He loves the script and feels that Vikram's is
a heroic story that needs to be told.
Whatever happens, it will be him, who plays
the role. He's tight-lipped about the project
for now, but he has given it the green
signal." As Sidharth's grandfather has an
army background, "he understands the
space and the emotions attached to it. He's
done his research on Batra and is raring to
go," the source stated. "Sidharth has been
offered biopics, but he was keen on doing
an inspirational story and what better
than one on Captain Vikram Batra's life!
Aiyaary is based on real incidents, but this
will be a proper biography on screen
Sid's first," the source added.
Reports also suggested that Sid will be seen
in a double role in the biopic as Captain
Batra had an identical twin brother, Vishal,
which will be played by Sidharth as well.
