For those who presumed Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt would give each other the royal ignore post their rumoured break-up, well, they are apparently too professional to do that.
Without alluding to their split, Sid has confirmed that Aashiqui 3 is very much on. “Of course, we all are on board. It is taking time from a writing point of time, the director and producer have to agree on the script. It is a mystery to me as well. It will be a great thing to be working on this film. I have never worked with Bhatts so looking forward to this,” he stated. No drama and definitely no melodrama there; Sid has apparently moved on with grace.

The film that is actually on his mind and is even giving him a bit of the quake, is the biopic on Kargil martyr, Captain Vikram Batra. Speaking about it, he says that it is his first biopic and he is “super excited” about it. He also adds, “Movies have a great impact, they live for long. There is a pressure of living up to the idea of what their son has done. That is why we are taking more time to start the film. We want to work properly on the story. It is not a fictitious story that I want to jump into it. I hope whenever the film comes out the family is happy and proud.”
Sid will essay a double role in the film, playing both Vikram and his twin, Vishal. Filming starts this summer and Sidharth has already started training by going to border areas, meeting BSF jawans, seeing their lifestyle, and getting a first-hand feel of their discipline and training. “So in my own head the little bit of homework has started by observing people,” he reveals.
His name is also being tossed around for the remake of the David Dhawan hit, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. This film will reportedly star Akshay Kumar and Sid in the lead roles. However, the actor grins, “This is news to me… Nobody has come to me, no one has approached me. I have no clue. Akshay and I have the same height... so it will be 'Bade Miyan Bade Miyan!'
We can see why he was Alia’s fave boy for so long!
