Siddhant Chaturvedi was an overnight sensation thanks to Ranveer Singh's Gully Boy. His character MC Sher was able to stand tall against Ranveer's Murad and his brilliant performance deserved all the appreciation he received. While the actor is in talks to sign his next big project, he's currently busy promoting Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson's Men in Black: International. He has lent his voice to Chris' character in the film's Hindi dubbed version and going by its promo, we are already finding it impressive enough. Gully Boy Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi Reveals Dubbing for Chris Hemsworth's 'Men in Black: International' was Tough.

However, his story wasn't an instant success. In his recent chat with PTI, the actor revealed how he got rejected when he had auditioned for Guy Ritchie's Aladdin and Million Dollar Arm. "I had auditioned for the lead role in 'Aladdin'. I was there in at least top 20 from India. This is for the role of 'Aladdin', they were looking for an Indian boy back then but then they decided the accent needs to be international. It was their call," he said. Gully Boy Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi is Already Acting Pricey by Refusing to Meet the Filmmakers?

"Then there was another film called Million Dollar Arm. I did audition for it as well, it was not for dubbing. They had two Indian guys who play baseball, I did the audition for that. They felt I was too upmarket and fair for it," said the actor. Post this, Siddhant had even auditioned to play the role of a male stripper in Katrina Kaif and Fawad Khan's Raat Baaki. Since the movie was shelved after the Uri attack, he eventually marked his debut with Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy.
