Actor Siddharth Gupta tells Pallavi Gupta about working under Ekta Kapoor and Bejoy Nambiar’s banner for his forthcoming comedy film
How much can one possibly mess upIJ Well, there’s no limit for Kuku Mathur.The guy, a central character of film Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi, often lands up in weird, helpless situations and therefore the title of the film was worked around with the word, ‘jhand.’
A joint venture of director Aman Sachdeva and producers Ekta Kapoor and Bejoy Nambiar, Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi is being described as a “perfect summer holiday movie.” The movie releasing today is a pun on funny situations we face in life. It launches Siddharth Gupta with former Miss Femina Simran Kaur Mundi.
“Kuku is naive, innocent and he does not even realise that uski jhand ho rahi hai.
He dreams of opening a restaurant and being a chef. But his efforts never materialise,” said Siddharth, a computer science engineer from Dubai. He realised it’s acting that’s his true calling and therefore came to Mumbai to pursue his passion. He was part of theatre and was performing on stage regularly.
“One of my plays, Holi, was attended by Ekta Kapoor and she liked my work.I got a call from Getaway, production house by Bejoy Nambiar and Aman Sachdeva, for an audition. After a series of audition I was selected,” he informed He added, “I feel very safe that I am part of Balaji Motion Pictures. The combination of Aman Sachdeva and Balaji Motion Pictures makes me feel that I am in a safety net. It has been a great experience; I have learnt a lot about filmmaking.”
The young actor is aware of competition in the industry, but believes that it is ultimately good work that leads you to success. “I am preparing myself to better my own work. Competition is for everyone in the industry,” he said.
