Having started his career with romantic films, Sidharth Malhotra is now looking forward to do characters that have depth and help him grow as an actor. The 33-year-old actor said at this point in his career, he wants to take risks.
"Deep-rooted characters like in 'Ittefaq' or 'Aiyaary', had lots of depth, which I personally like and I think you just grow (as actor). I think to do just a love story becomes sightly frivolous," Sidharth said. In his five-year-long career in Bollywood, Sidharth has played varied characters and the actor said there is always an attempt to do something "non-typical".
"Being versatile in India is a trend, where no one actor is known for a particular kind of role or film and in my own small way, I am trying to get myself into playing a soft and tough part. I am definitely challenging myself and going against the grain. I am trying to do something non typical. I yearn for something that is unique, something that no one has done before and opens up a different horizon," he adds.
Critics have lauded his performance in 'Ittefaq' and his next release 'Aiyaary' looks promising as well. The Neeraj Pandey directed film is about a mentor and protege, played by Manoj Bajpayee and Sidharth, respectively. In real life, the young actor considers Karan Johar his mentor, but at the same time said eventually one has to work hard on their own.
