From bit roles in movies to lead parts in web series, these actors are demanding our attention
A STAR IS BORN
Siddhant Chaturvedi
It’s been years since an unknown face broke into the Hindi film industry and grabbed it by the collars like he has
GREEN TEA.
He prefers green tea. This is my third time interviewing​ Siddhant Chaturvedi and while he still remains sort of an enigma, there are some things about him that I know for certain—he likes green tea, he’s a man with a mission and he’s not here to play around.
“What do I even ask you? I interviewed you a month ago!” I say when I meet him at the KWAN office in Andheri. He’s more relaxed this time around and his greeting is warmer. We hug as his manager requests me to wrap up the interview in 25 minutes (she’s kind enough to give me 40) and we sit down on a sprawling beige couch.
“I don’t have many questions. Is there something you want to tell me?” I say once we begin the interview.
“Something that’s happened in the one month since you interviewed me last is that there’s been a constant struggle to not be associated with my (Gully Boy) character (MC Sher). I’m done and I want to move on to my next character,” he says immediately.
He’s pretty excited about his next character but also very tight-lipped about it. The film is being produced by one of the biggest production houses in the country. “It’s one of the top three production houses in the country and it’s not Excel. There you go,” he says when I push him to give me some more details. Is it Dharma or Yash Raj? He doesn’t say but gives me an exclusive—it’ll most likely release next May. It’s also going to be a dramedy which means it could be either of the two production houses that have been listed above.
