Siddhant Chaturvedi is certainly one of the most talented actors of the present times and he impressed everyone with his superb acting performance in Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer, Gully Boy.
After that, he was seen in some other movies as well and he didn’t fail in proving his talent but you will be shocked to know that he was also given a role in Brahmastra but he rejected it after which he was blacklisted.
During an interview he said, “Mujhe blacklist kar diya gaya casting se. Blacklist kar diya ki ye toh pagal hai ladka. Badnaam ho gaya tha main casting circuit mein ki ye select ho ke na bol deta hai. One month before Gully Boy, this (Brahmastra) happened. The makers of a very big film that eventually became the biggest film offered me a part. I had got it through a casting director. It was one of the characters, but it didn’t have any script or audition. They said that you do martial arts, it was an action fantasy film. Ek ashram hai, usme one of the superhero’s ka kirdar mila tha mujhe. So they said I should do it, and it’s a V*-FX-heavy project, and it will take 5 years to make.”
He further added, “I told the casting director that I won’t be able to do it. He stood up and said, ‘Pagal hai, Dharma ke saath hai, 3 films ka contract hai.’ So I said, ‘Who will watch me if Amitabh Bachchan is there, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are there together.”
Siddhant Chaturvedi’s last release was Kho Gaye Hum Kahan which also starred Ananya Panday and Adarsh Grover.
Did he do the right thing by refusing Brahmastra or not? What do you think?
