Dhadak 2 star Siddhant Chaturvedi says he doesnt want to be known for one type of role
In a recent interview with ANI, Siddhant opened up about the choices he makes as an actor and how he doesn't want to limit himself to just one kind of role.
"I always work on playing a different character every time. We enjoy it as actors. It's not like if people like you in a certain character, you just stick to doing that. Because if that were the case, I would have kept doing similar roles even after my first film."
"But I always think that I want to do different kinds of roles. As a person, as an actor, I want to grow. So, the effort is always to find a new character, because doing the same thing again doesn't bring joy," he added.
"I feel like if you keep doing one kind of role, something you're known for, then you build a market for yourself. But as far as I am concerned, I've come to disrupt the market, not just build it. I want to break that. Every time, I want to appeal to a different age group, a different gender, different regions, demographics," he further said.
Siddhant will next be seen in Dhadak 2, which is directed by Shazia Iqbal.
Meanwhile, the trailer for his upcoming film 'Dhadak 2' was unveiled earlier this month.
Helmed by Shazia Iqbal, 'Dhadak 2' explores love and challenges social norms.
The film follows Siddhant's character as he navigates a love story that breaks through societal expectations and class barriers.
The film is a follow-up to 2018's Dhadak, a remake of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's 2018 Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal.' (ANI)

Inflation down In India, the dark reality at the ground level is that ordinary people do not find food prices dropping for most items even when reports say inflation has come down (Page 1, July 15). The inflation rates released by the government are perhaps useful only for the upward or the downward revision of the DA of government employees. Kosaraju Chandramouli, Hyderabad Saroja Devi An era ends in Indian cinema with the passing of actor B. Saroja Devi. She was a towering figure in Indian cinema and one of South Indian cinema's most iconic and beloved female actors, who mesmerised generations of audiences with her acting brilliance. She leaves behind a monumental legacy that shaped the golden era of South Indian films. Ramesh G. Jethwani, Bengaluru Indian cinema has lost one of its finest and most elegant actors. She was a blend of talent, beauty and grace. One of India's early pan-India heroines, she will be remembered for her screen presence. The saris and jewellery that she wore in films became a trend and style in those days. She will live on in our hearts. M. Pradyu, Kannur Kerala The void will be difficult to fill. The Tamil film fraternity has lost a commanding artist. B. Saroja Devi remained an artist till her retirement from the tinsel world, with her domineering presence and mature acting.
