screen with Ekta Kapoor after four years
when the actor starred in Ek Villain.
A source had earlier said to a leading daily,
"It's a small town love story with edgy
characters. As soon as Ekta heard it she
immediately reached out to Sidharth. She
believes it's a great role and a perfect film
for them to come together. The film is
expected to roll in a couple of months. The
makers will begin the
reccee soon and zero in on a leading lady."
In recent developments, the project which is
titled Shotgun Shaadi is based on groom-
kidnapping that is prevalent in the North
Indian state. Sidharth plays a unique
character in what will be an edgy movie and
will be seen portraying a thug, according to
the daily.
A source revealed to the daily, "Sid plays a
thug who abducts potential grooms and
gets them forcefully married. He has started
taking classes to master the Bihari diction"
Reportedly, Shraddha Kapoor will be starring
opposite the actor as his love interest.

Meanwhile, Sidharth is all set to be seen in
Kargil: Sher Shah, a biopic based on the late
Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra. The
actor will soon start shooting for the film in
Kashmir.
When Sidharth was asked why it took him
so long to star in a biopic, the actor
revealed, "A biopic needs to mean
something. As an actor, I need to feel the
connect. A biopic is not a fictitious story. It is
based on a real person and I think one
needs to handle that with a lot of sensitivity.
The character that I'll be playing next is very
sensitive and his story is also quite touching.
When I was approached for the film, and
they spoke to me about the character, I felt
it means a lot to me and I have so much
respect for him."
