'I've only dreamt of being in the cinema till I die'

With his sterling performance in 3BHK, Tamil star-actor Siddharth proves himself one of the best actors of the country. A rare interview with the actor.

You have been around for 22 years, and you still look 22, what is the secret of your agelessness?

Writers and directors hold the key to giving actors good work. Sometimes it takes decades for an actor to impress them. I guess I'm lucky I look the way I do, so that when the day comes that they think of me, I still look like and hopefully have the ability to be the actor they want.

Are you happy with your journey as an actor so far? Which of your films do you consider gamechangers in your career?

I love cinema. I think I'm good at my work here. I get paid to do my work. I'd say I've never worked a day in my life because I do what I love. As an actor, I am still learning every day and hopefully will continue to do so.

That is quite an immersive performance in 3BHK. How were you so sure you could pull off your character's age shifts from the teens to the 30s?
