New Delhi: Sidharth Bhardwaj, a former Bigg Boss contestant, has now responded to charges made by director Mohit Suri that he never considered casting him in the movie 'Ek Villain'. He had previously asserted that he left the movie sets after being given a non-acceptable role.
When he arrived on the site for the shot, Mohit, according to Sidharth, modified the script that had been presented to him. He had requested the chance to talk about it but was turned down. Riteish Deshmukh, Sidharth Malhotra, and Shraddha Kapoor all starred in the 2014 film Ek Villain. The movie received favourable reviews upon release and did well at the box office. The film's sequel, which Mohit produced last year, failed to capture the charm of the original.
In an interview with ETimes, Sidharth said, "I read Mohit Suri’s quote on the entire stance. I am glad he said he had nothing against me. I have nothing against him. But as a matter of fact, he is lying. I have never met Sidharth Malhotra until now. I don’t know him personally. I think Mohit’s ego was hurt because I wanted credit in the film and I didn’t even take money. As an actor, I wanted to work with them. Mohit Sir changed the script.”
Sidharth also spoke about sharing a good bond with Salman Khan and shared, "I told this to Salman Khan Sir. I met him on the sets of Tubelight. He said, ‘Bahut galat kiya tere saath. You are a young guy, he shouldn’t be doing this with you.’ I have nothing against anyone. Back then I was in Jaipur for a shoot and I flew from there for the film. I wanted to work. I was there on the set, had they not changed the script, why would I have walked out?”
Reacting to Mohit Suri's claims, Sidhath shared in a post, "If there is one thing I have learnt from my mother in my life that's KEEP WORKING HARDER AFTER EVERY SETBACK, this is the audition and this was the original script for me which was changed… So I made the choice of being not bullied .. I believe in my skill as an actor and I am sure one day my hard work will prevail over cheap film industry bullying I wish best of luck to Mohit Suri and I have nothing against him …. hope no actor goes through what I went through cause not everybody is as headstrong as I am!"
