Wellington:
As a fan of The Lord Of The Rings film series, Indian actor Sidharth Malhotra sported an 'elf look' during his visit to the world-famous Weta Workshop in New Zealand and shared a photograph on Instagram on October 14.
Sidharth had earlier confessed that he would have chosen the Ranger Aragorn from The Lord Of The Rings if asked to play a character. But it seems that he is considering the character of Legolas too, especially after sporting this look. (Also Read: Sidharth Malhotra's 'Amazing' Visit to Lord of The Rings Sets)
Of course, the ring wasn't the original one, but it left Sidharth extremely excited.
This is what the Ek Villain actor, who has been appointed as New Zealand's tourism ambassador in India, posted on his Instagram page on Monday.
Mr Taylor, New Zealand's creative genius and a five-time Oscar winning talent and Sidharth met at the former's world-famous Weta Workshop on Monday. They exchanged views on filmmaking, prosthetics, make-up and visual effects.
The actor also sampled what went behind the scenes of Hollywood trilogies like The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit, getting a dekko at the armour, weapons, creatures, prosthetics, props and costumes from iconic films. (Also Read: Sidharth on Skydiving Experience in New Zealand: Out of This World)
He also spoke excitedly about how he loves Aragorn's character from The Lord Of The Rings and was enthusiastic about seeing the sword that was used by Aragorn in the movie. He was so enthused by the precision and detailing in the miniatures that he bought one for his house in Mumbai.
Sidharth, in fact, also spoke to Mr Taylor about possible future collaborations with Bollywood.
Shankar's I was the first Indian film to take the services of Weta Workshop, whose creative portfolio also includes movies like Avatar, District 9, The Adventures of Tintin, Elysium, Krampus and Warcraft. Mr Taylor too expressed an interest in joining creative forces with more Indian filmmakers.
