There’s something about Sidharth Malhotra… Perhaps it’s the intensity of his limpid brown eyes that gaze at the world with utmost sincerity or maybe it’s just his impactful screen presence. Perhaps it’s his boyish charm that make the girls swoon and is such a hit with the audience. …Whatever it is, this man, they say, has the same magical zing that perhaps legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna had.

Of course, Sidharth has been in the industry for just five years. And though he’s had his share of hits and misses, he’s carved a niche for himself. And with his repertoire of fine performances in his varied films, one can confidently say that Sidharth Malhotra is definitely a superstar in the making.

You are extremely low profiled. You just do your work and stay away from the limelight. Is this a conscious decision to be different from the other actors?

No, I don’t think it’s a conscious decision. It’s just me. My day-to-day deals are so well planned and well thought of that everything in my life goes like clockwork. I feel I do whatever comes naturally to me, and basically whatever I am used to. When it comes to movies, I want to do as much as I can, as many films as I can, more interesting stories... But yes, I get so caught up with the movie making business that I don’t have the time for anything else. Of course, I go out when I have to. But I really don’t have too much time for anything else. But of course, now you’ll see a lot of me as I have three upcoming film releases in the next six months. So I think you’ll get quite tired of seeing me now. (laughs)

Ittefaq is creating quite a buzz. What made you take up this film?
