Sidharth dismisses sabbatical rumours

Mumbai: Actor Sidharth Malhotra, whose last few films have performed below expectation at the box-office, has dismissed rumours that he is taking a sabbatical. Rather, pinning hope on his forthcoming release Marjaavaan, he added that makers of action drama have ensured that he is presented in the film in the best-possible manner.

"Every actor thinks about what he wants from a film before signing it. This film is an ode to all the heroes that I have seen in Hindi movies. I have always been inspired by the hero's entry, action and stuff like, so with similar excitement, I started work on this film,a said Sidharth, about Marjaavaan, while interacting with the media at the trailer launch of the upcoming film.

He was accompanied at the event by co-actors Riteish Deshmukh, Tara Sutaria, and Rakul Preet Singh, besides the film's director Milap Zaveri. Producers Bhushan Kumar and Nikkhil Advani were also present at the event, held in Mumbai.

There were reports that after Jabariya Jodi saw not-so-favourable response at the box-office, Sidharth had decided to take a sabbatical from signing new films, till he fathomed what kind of films he wanted to do. Before this, his only release in 2018, Aiyaaria had also flopped.
