Sidharth Malhotra Justifies Why He Gravitates Towards Playing Real Life Hero Roles
When Sidharth Malhotra was asked about his conscious movie choices, right from Shershaah to Mission Majnu, Indian Police Force and Yodha, the actor said, "I find it really interesting. When you play characters that you have seen or heard of in real life, and when they are doing something very heroic and something very thrilling, it makes for nice Hindi film entertainment. I find that watch very interesting. I like parts of geo-politics, I like real life missions when I see documentaries. Not that any of the films is a version of that. Maybe Shershaah was one. But it's a great mix."

The Shershaah actor then went on to talk about how roles of the characters he plays help the prospective audience know more about the reality of their jobs. He explained, "Like you have seen a police officer. All of us have seen them. Maybe not interacted with them closely. But when you see a show (Indian Police Force) like this, you realise that this is what they have to face in real life; These are their challenges and this is how their personal life may be like. This is the extent of their duty or dedication that it takes". Malhotra lastly praised his director's vision and gave credit to his audiences for making him choose the scripts that he is choosing.

Sidharth Malhotra Opens Up On The Possibility Of Him Taking Up Grey Characters
Sidharth Malhotra, later on in the conversation, was made aware of the fact that his fans miss him in grey characters like that in Ek Villain. To this, Sidharth answered, "Ek Villain also had, at core, a good motivation even though it was a very aggressive character doing wrong things in his past, but his present journey was because of a love story; because of an emotional reason. So, ya, absolutely (I would like to play characters with grey shades). That was my third film so it was more challenging and daunting then, to portray a more silent character. At present, not that I am averse to it, but it's something that I am also possibly looking (to do); So, its up to the writers and directors; Something interesting comes up, of course. Why not!"
