Sidharth Malhotra has undoubtedly undergone a notable transformation in his career. He entered Bollywood 10 years ago as the epitome of the soft boy, boyfriend material, and undoubtedly still remains 'Kukkad Kamaal Da'. While Sidharth Malhotra being a heartthrob has remained a constant among viewers, his filmography has gone through a change.

In his debut movie, 'Student of the Year,' Sidharth played the charming, romantic underdog that one roots for. This trend continued in movies like 'Hasee Toh Phasee' and 'Kapoor & Sons,' where his roles became more complex yet essentially remained the quintessential soft boy Sidharth Malhotra. Perhaps, Sidharth choosing to play slightly more complex romantic leads foreshadowed the change that would soon be reflected in his filmography.
