Siddharth, readying to strike back
Siddharth is back in action in Bollywood after a gap of five years. The actor was last seen in the critically-acclaimed and commercially successful Rang De Basanti. Now his Striker is all set to grace theatres.
Striker is about a young carrom champ named Surya Kant. As he grows up and looks for a job, he is duped by an employment agency that had lured him with a Dubai posting.
How carrom ultimately helps him overthrow this man who has been the reason for the misery of several people forms the crux of the story.
Speaking more about the film to a leading English daily, the actor said the film is set in the 1980s, “Striker is biographical. It follows Surya through his life from age 10 to 32. It is about friendship and love; it's not just an intense drama. Of course, it is in the league of the 80s angry-young-man-out-to-set-the-world-right kind of films such as Zanjeer and Arjun.”
Siddharth is currently working for his first epic fairy tale in Telugu opposite Shruti Haasan. The film is directed by National Award winning-director Prakash Rao, son of veteran K. Raghavendra Rao.
