"I feel the filmmaker in me has grown." - Sidharth Malhotra on his Bollywood journey
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,November 25 2022]
Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who had started his Bollywood journey with the film 'Student Of The Year', has completed 10 years in the industry and in this time period, he has been part of several amazing films and has gathered his fair share of experience. In a recent conversation with PTI, Sidharth shared that after working for 10 years as an actor, the filmmaker in him has grown as well.
He stated, I feel the filmmaker in me has grown. The actor in me has learned so much. I feel I finally have a voice. I can voice my personality or my viewpoints now much better in the filmmaking language. Maybe because I was an assistant director, I have that ‘keeda’ (bug) in me to be creatively involved in other aspects.”
Sidharth further shared how his definition of success has also changed over years. He said, “I realised that the true value for any actor is when his scenes or films are remembered beyond time. When people meet me now and if they would tell me a scene from Hasee Toh Phasee or Kapoor & Sons, that is the true wealth. The number and the business aspect kind of fizzles out over the years. The true test for any actor is how many people remember your work.”
Talking about how he deals with the failure of any of his movies, Sidharth said, I try to react instinctively to every script and every story. So, there are no regrets. I work equally hard for every film. The result of it is something that is obviously not up to me, which is the case in any creative field.
