Siddhant Chaturvedi rejected a role in Brahmastra
Siddhant Chaturvedi was in conversation with The Lallantop where he shared the reason behind rejecting the offer
Siddhant Chaturvedi has carved a niche for himself in the industry. His performance in Gully Boy co-starring Ranveer Singh is still fresh in everyone’s mind. However many did not know that Siddhant was offered a role in Brahmastra but he rejected it. Yes, you are reading right. Recently, in conversation with The Lallantop, Siddhant Chaturvedi revealed that he was blacklisted also for the same.
Talking to the portal, the Gully Boy actor said, “Mujhe blacklist kar diya gaya casting se. Blacklist kar diya ki ye toh pagal hai ladka. Badnaam ho gaya tha main casting circuit mein ki ye select ho ke na bol deta hai.” Speaking further he said, “He said, “One month before Gully Boy, this (Brahmastra) happened. The makers of a very big film that eventually became the biggest film offered me a part. I had got it through a casting director. It was one of the characters, but it didn’t have any script or audition. They said that you do martial arts, it was an action fantasy film. Ek ashram hai, usme one of the superhero’s ka kirdar mila tha mujhe. So they said I should do it, and it’s a VFX-heavy project, and it will take 5 years to make.”
He said. “I told the casting director that I won’t be able to do it. He stood up and said, ‘Pagal hai, Dharma ke saath hai, 3 films ka contract hai.’ So I said, ‘Who will watch me if Amitabh Bachchan is there, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are there together.” The actor added that he should have at least two lines of dialogue to grasp what he would be saying in the movie.
Well, Siddhant Chaturvedi was last seen in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan co starring Ananya Panday and Adarsh Gaurav. Set in Mumbai, this refreshing narrative of three friends is brought to life by the debutant director Arjun Varain Singh and the creative forces, known for exploring different facets of friendship, Excel Entertainment’s Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar in collaboration with Tiger Baby’s Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar.
