Normally, youngsters with a degree abroad don't do well in films. Filmdom always looks at them with skepticism and cynicism.

"What do they know? They can just speak a few lines in accented English," is the general refrain about foreign educated wannabe heroes. Whether they like it or not, there is an inverted snobbery at work here.

And that is what Siddharth hopes to break through his Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana.

This Prabhu Deva-directed film pits him as the hero against the hot and happening Trisha.

This is Siddharth's first direct film in Telugu. Boys and Yuva were dubbed ones.

Naturally, he is tensed. But naturally, he is also confident. He says that the film has come out well. The songs have a nice blend and the film is certain do well, he opines.

Getting back to the original theme of this item (that of educated youth getting a rough deal in filmdom) Siddharth is naturally diplomatic. Siddharth, who studied in the US, doesn't feel that there is any bias against youngsters with formal qualifications. It is all egalitarian here, he says.

Siddharth who doesn't have any new films in hand is more worried that Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana does well.

The other arguments can wait.
