Actor Siddhant Chaturvedi made his Bollywood debut playing ‘M C Sher’ in the critically acclaimed Gully Boy. He will be next seen in the sequel Bunty aur Babli 2. Recently, he revealed how he bagged the role.
Siddhant,in an interview with News18, said, “Adi sir (Aditya Chopra) had seen Gully Boy and I remember he called me and said, ‘tu toh hero hai (you’re a hero),’ and I told him, ‘toh bana do hero (then make me a hero).’ And that’s how I was offered the film and I heard the script and signed it.”
He further added, “But somewhere I was a bit hesitant that they hadn’t seen my comic timing. I have grown up watching Govinda sir, Salman (Khan) sir, Shah Rukh (Khan) sir, so I am a hardcore Bollywood fan. So I wrote a diary for this character, where I wrote about the character. I also recorded the voice with some background music. So I auditioned after signing the film as I really wanted to impress Adi sir. When I saw my preparation, he found it really amazing.”
Bunty aur Babli 2 stars Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherji as senior potray Senior Bunty and Babli while Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari play younger Bunty and Babli. It is slated to hit the theatres on November 19.
