EXCLUSIVE: Siddhant Chaturvedi signed on the dotted line by YRF for their next
After playing MC Sher in Gully Boy, it seems Siddhant Chaturvedi is the go-to-guy in Bollywood today. He has now got a big break in a YRF backed project. Read details.
Siddhant Chaturvedi became a household name after delivering a stellar performance in Ranveer Singh-Alia Bhatt starrer Gully Boy. As MC Sher, the actor was a breakout star that the industry welcomed in 2019. And now, he has been flooded with offers from several banners.
While Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani who launched him in Bollywood have decided to produce a spin-off on his character from the Zoya Akhtar directoria, we hear that Siddhant has also been signed on by YRF for a biggie. Says a source, "Siddhant was being spotted visiting YRF for quite sometime. Although it wasn't known till now but he has now signed a film with the banner. Aditya Chopra feels he's got immense potential and had offered him a plump project."
For those in the know, the actor officially came on board just two days back. "It's a romcom which YRF is producing and they want to present a different side to Siddhant. The team was working on all the modalities and the actor has just signed his contract. Now it's upto Adi and YRF when they want to make it official." Apparently, the romcom will also star another young actress opposite him.
On the work front, apart from the MC Sher spin-off, Siddhant will next be seen reprising his role in the second season of Inside Edge. "Siddhant will mostly begin shoot for the YRF project in the last quarter of 2019. They are working out the date schedule right now as we speak."
