Sidharth Malhotra: Doing An Action Film After Romantic Roles is Very Taxing

Sidharth hopes to widen his range of films and characters post Ek Villain

Highlights

Young actor Sidharth Malhotra, who played a romantic hero in his first two releases - Student of the Year and Hasee Toh Phasee, says he found it challenging to play an intense role in Ek Villain.
He reasons that he had no reference to the character in romantic thriller Ek Villain, which is that of a man with grey shades.
"To do an action-oriented and intense film right after doing romance is far more taxing because real life references are not there.”
"Neither am I such a kind of person in real life nor do I know anybody with such personality. So, in that case, you have to work much harder, do homework as an actor and work on your look. This is what I have tried to do in the film," the actor told reporters here on June 24.
He hopes to widen his range of films and characters post Ek Villain.
"Hopefully after Ek Villain I will get more films where I can do both positive and negative characters," added the 29-year-old.
Directed by Mohit Suri, Ek Villain also features Riteish Deshmukh and Shraddha Kapoor. It will hit the theatres on June 27.
