Did You Know: Sidharth Malhotra Was Supposed to Make His Debut Opposite THIS Superstar Actress!
Happy birthday, Sidharth Malhotra!
That Sidharth Malhotra made his big Bollywood debut alongside Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan in Student of the Year is known to all. But that wasn’t the original plan. Yes, the good-looking, who celebrates his 34th birthday today, was supposed to make his film debut long before SOTY. Well, if you still haven’t guessed the superstar actress and the film in the question then let us tell you that Sid was to star opposite Priyanka Chopra in Madhur Bhandarkar’s 2008 blockbuster Fashion. However, he couldn’t do the film in the end due to his contract with Gladrags at the time. Did Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan Mingle With Each Other During Bollywood-Modi Meet?
After becoming the second runner-up of the Gladrags mega-model and Manhunt in 2007, Sidharth had contractual obligations which forced him to give up Priyanka starrer Fashion. Anyway, it’s good that the 34-year-old had to wait for his big Bollywood debut or else he wouldn’t have gotten a launch like SOTY which not only got him noticed but also immediately made him popular amongst the younger crowd.
Coming back to Sid’s career, the actor will next be seen in Jabariya Jodi and Marjaavan. While the former is a romantic comedy co-starring Parineeti Chopra, the latter one is an action thriller co-starring Rakul Preet Singh, Riteish Deshmukh, and Tara Sutaria. Both the films will release this year on 17th May and 2nd October respectively. Koffee With Karan 6: Sidharth Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapur Come Together to Sip Coffee and Spill the Tea – View Pics.
