If looks could kill, Sidharth Malhotra’s totally would. The smoldering actor is soon going to start training the remake of Hollywood flick Warrior. Sidharth is in news for all the right reasons now as his next film Ek Villain is soon garnering interest and attention of audiences. However, his next projects are all undisclosed so far. The actor in a recent chat with Koimoi went candid about his upcoming films, especially Warrior. The actor told, “My next film is very exciting. It has an interesting script and surprisingly has a lot of scope for two characters to co-exist smoothly. It is about mixed martial arts and fighting. I will have to start training for it soon after Ek Villain releases, in a month’s time.”
Rumor mills had suggested that Akshay Kumar is being considered for the role opposite Sidharth. On being questioned, Sid complied only to add that it is all still in talks and nothing has been finalized so far.

The Superstars of this era still continue to be Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, who are all well in the later side of their 40s. On asking Sidharth on a humorous note whether he ever prays for the older guns to retire, the actor quipped, “The reason why they aren’t retiring is because the audience still wants to see them. And that is in no one’s control. The audience still hasn’t found anyone more attractive than the older lot in question here. The seniors are as good as they were years ago. Audience never lies, if people are going and watching their films that means they are still as entertaining , have that charisma. It is a compliment to them that even in their late 40s, they can portray emotions with the same freshness and vulnerability. The other day at Dharma we were discussing the same. It’s the only time in Bollywood that there are actors from 20s to 30s to 40s even 50s, 60s and 70s which filmmakers in the past never had. You can choose from any distinct generation and make any kind of film today. From a filmmaker point of view, that’s great. And for actors too, there are different kind of content coming your way defying the staple moulds. I hope the older generation agrees to do film with younger actors, in a script that calls for a multi-star cast. I am hoping that the film I am in talks works out, it will then be great. Different generation actors can bring together unique content that is unseen so far.”
Sidharth however was careful in emphasizing that Akshay still hasn’t given his nod for the role. The film is the story of two brothers who have a face off in a boxing match. Sidharth is also in talks with Tarun Mansukhani and might get roped for Dharma’s next film which is the remake of French movie Priceless.
For now, Sidharth’s sole attention is Ek Villain and looks like the movie is bucking up to recreate for director Mohit Suri, the success of Aashiqui 2.
