From a guy who used to defend Sid alot and still feels he's slightly overhated. The ship has sailed,maybe pre covid he had a chance and definitely after Shershaah too.
But it's been 4 years since Shershaah, and he's only done duds since. He hasn't really improved in acting either, Ahaan Pandey literally did a better performance than any Sid movie in his debut Saiyaara.
All jokes aside, Sid does have amazing screen presence but he genuinely can't act. The unfortunate reality is that he genuinely had hype too, if you guys were around the Marjaavan time, there was genuine ground level hype for that film, it was just a bakwas film.
Sid legitimately has poor script sense, he's decent with a good film and script but since Kapoor and Sons (Shershaah was an anomaly), his films all suck. With that being said a good director can make him look presentable, he nailed shershaah and that's probably his Guru (Abhishek Bachchan equivalent). Sid sadly lacks the acting ability to carry poor scripts and with how things are changing, he's fading. Hopefully he can reinvent himself and go the John Abraham route but his career as a major leading man and superstar is sadly over.
