Siddharth, the multi tasker
Posted by Prathna with No Comments
Siddharth, who shuttles between K’town, T’town, B’wood and more, is in an upbeat mood.
The former assistant to Mani Ratnam has several reasons to be delighted about as he turns co-producer with his upcoming flick Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi (How to mess up in love).
The movie, which is to be directed by newcomer Balaji Mohan, has the hot and happening Amala Paul sizzling alongside Siddharth. It is also releasing in Telugu under the title Love Failure.
“No one can beat me in sodhappal (messing things) including in kadhal (romance). So, I consider myself apt for the lead role in Kadhalil Sodhapuvadhu Yeppadi (KSY). I am co-producing it as well,” a cheerful Siddharth starts his conversation in Tamil.
“When I saw ten minutes of the script directed by Balaji Mohan on YouTube, I found it fascinating. I felt that I should make it into a mainstream film and suggested this to producers Sasikanth and Nirav Shah, who said that they were already initiating the idea. I then joined them onboard,” he chuckles.
Delving more into the subject, he says, “It’s a cute, feel-good film with no big logic.
It was really challenging to make a 10 minutes short film into a full-length feature film. It’s neither preachy nor does it offer a solution to messing up in love.
I have messed up several times — right from my school days and, in many things including love. People of all ages can relate to this script, one way or the other.”
Ask him about his recent mess-up experiences in love and he cleverly says, “I have given three months vacation to that as I have been busy shooting for KSY.”
The actor has taken a new avatar as a singer with KSY. “Thaman, with whom I started my career in Boys, has composed the music. He made me sing two songs as well,” he reveals. Why is he not seen in Tamil films more often? Pat he replies, “No one calls me here! That’s why I thought I would produce my own film.”
He quickly adds, “Jokes apart, I have six releases lined up for 2012 in various languages including English. From now onwards, I will be concentrating more on Tamil films”.

Defeat in love is victory…philosophy of Love Failure
Posted by Prathna with No Comments
Arun is not the regular guy you meet on the street. He is like an ambitious scientist who wants to experiment with the difficult and the unpredictable. That’s why he runs behind a girl who hates to love anyone. After vainly trying to inspire love in her for much time, he waits for the final nod at the eleventh hour.
This is not just about Love Failure. There is more. Actor-producer Siddharth asks us to watch the film to know how defeat in love is victory. “What happens when a girl and a boy sharing two contradictory views on love meet? How does love blossom in them? Our film depicts these aspects in an exciting manner”, Sid says.
The movie is set to release next month. Directed by Balaji Mohan, the film has music by SS Thaman.
The combination of Siddharth and Amala Paul will be interesting to watch. Dil Raju is releasing the film in Telugu.
