Action seems to have worked well for Sidharth Malhotra. Even though a few films might not have worked as expected at the box office, he seems to have found his footing in the space. The actor who delivered a box office success with Marjaavaan last year, has now signed yet another action thriller.
A source close to the development, reveals, "Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP has been planning an action film for sometime now. It's an espionage thriller which will be mounted on a big scale. They wanted a young actor to play the lead and offered it to Sidharth. He liked the script and agreed to be part of the project. The film is a well conceptualised spy thriller with several stunts and action sequences in it." The source further adds, "After Uri worked wonders for the banner, the team was working on this film's pre-production, which revolves around the India-Pakistan cross border relationship. Sidharth will play a RAW agent in Pakistan."
