Siddharth is excited about his debut in Malayalam film industry

Actor Siddharth has returned from the sabbatical and will be busy shooting for four movies in coming 11 months. One of the four films will be his debut in Malayalam film industry, where he will share screen space with none other than Dileep. The film will be directed by ad filmmaker Rathish Ambat. “It’s a language I’ve been hearing for long and I’m a huge fan of Malayalam movies. The audience there is known to be discerning, and the filmmakers have made a name for high-quality cinema. I’m excited to work there. I’ll be dubbing for myself, and am banking on my ability to pick up languages fast,” Siddharth told a national daily.


This year he will also focus on production as well. “We want to make more indie films at the right budget. Indie films are fiercely independent and you can like them or hate them, but can’t ignore them. But, one must cost the film correctly. Everyone who invested in 'Jil Jung Juk' is safe. In fact, I’m working with the same team on another script. The idea is to get the budget right, so that even if it is a niche film, it will never lose money. It worked for us. For instance, ‘Shoot the Kuruvi’ has gone crazily viral. We have 7 million hits on YouTube. We’re going to launch young talents who want to shake things up. These films might not have the chutzpah of Jil… but each will be made by people who question status quo,” he said.
