Sidharth, who made a successful debut with Karan Johar’s Student of the Year, will be seen next in Hasee Toh Phasee with Parineeti Chopra.
Encapsulating the idea of the title, he says: “It is not easy to impress any girl in any field. For boys, there is a lot of work. If a girl smiles, that does not mean she is impressed, need to do other things as well. The trick is for the guy to know what the girl likes and dislikes.”
“It is up to you how you gauge that. Some boys have good instincts, while some are dumb and stupid. Every girl is different, there is no one formula for it,” he said.
The model-actor was flooded with a lot of offers following his debut, but he chose Hasee Toh Phasee as his second film as he found it quirky.
“I found this film interesting because of its quirkiness, there is not much glitz and glamour. It is a middle class Bombay story. It is a dark, intense and edgy film. It has action but it is emotionally driven. I read the script and found it very quirky and funny. Vinil Mathew (director) is technically sound,” Siddharth said.
For the film, Siddharth had to work on his look – he had to gain some weight and colour his hair.
“The character is aggressive. It requires some amount of conviction to play this role. It is a risk, as the role that I play in the film is that of an older man,” the 29-year-old adds.
The film produced by Johar and Anurag Kashyap releases on February 7.
