After grabbing attention with his intense role in Mohit Suri’s action-thriller Ek Villian in 2014, Sidharth Malhotra is all set to reunite with Ekta Kapoor after more than three years for a love story which is yet to decide on its title. The film is expected to go on floor this year.
Confirming the new project, a source close to the development said:
“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”.
Sidharth Malhotra’s last few films — Baar Baar Dekho, A Gentleman, and Aiyaary didn’t quite impress the critics and audience. Let’s hope Ekta Kapoor’s romantic film helps Sidharth Malhotra to firm his position in the race of leading heroes.
On the professional front, Sidharth Malhotra was last seen in Aiyaary, directed by Neeraj Pandey. He will be next seen in the biopic on late Kargil war hero, Captain Vikram Batra. The movie is titled, Kargil: Sher Shah, the film will be shot in Ladakh, Chandigarh and the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun. Sidharth will reportedly start shooting in June.
Talking about the film Ek Villian, which was both critically acclaimed and a commercial success, the source added:
“The duo hopes to recreate the magic with their reunion”.
