Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt

Sidharth Malhotra confesses that the debacle of Nitya Mehra's ambitious project, Baar Baar Dekho (2016) compelled him to look at his career graph anew. Competing with his contemporaries, he says, isn't an option anymore, as the actor intends to compare every performance with his previous stint. "Flops are like falling off from a bicycle," Malhotra tells mid-day, adding, "After Baar Baar Dekho, I don't fear falling. At this point in my career, I am in such a space where I don't look at the work of any co-star with a competitive spirit. I have my career to build and wish to invest my energy into that."
