Despite making his debut alongside actors like Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, Siddhant Chaturvedi stood out as MC Sher in Gully Boy. But that was only the start of his career.
In his very first film, the actor was directed by Zoya Akhtar, one of the most acclaimed filmmakers in Bollywood and ever since there's been no looking back. Siddhant has gone on to work with the biggest directors and most celebrated stars in his next films. Siddhant will now be seen in Shakun Batra's next, Gehraiyaan.
While he starred in Bunty Aur Babli 2, an Aditya Chopra production, he bagged Phone Bhoot with Katrina Kaif and was also cast opposite Deepika Padukone in Shakun Batra's Gehraiyaan.
What makes his trajectory interesting is that Siddhant is already climbing the ladder this early in his career, with a mixed bag of films, different from one another and roles that showcase his true potential as an artist.
Says a trade source, "Siddhant worked with Zoya Akhtar in his first film and was already working with her protégé Shakun Batra 2 years later. The actor is making smart career choices and is doing strong content-driven films with great directors this early in his career. After Gully Boy, he was inundated with praise from industry heavyweights and was already meeting Aditya Chopra , Karan Johar and Ritesh Sidhwani a few days later."
The actor is all set to star in Gehraiyaan, an urban and complex love story that explores everything beneath the surface. With haunting visuals from the teaser that recently released, there is already much anticipation surrounding the film that will release on the OTT platform next month.
