What Next For Siddharth After ‘We Are Family’? We Are Family |
After directing a pure family drama in half Bollywood and half Hollywood style, director Siddharth Malhotra is geared up for his forthcoming projects. He is even ready with a new concept and the star cast is also in his mind.
Siddharth personally likes Kajol as an actress and it is his heartfelt wish to cast her again in at least one of his movies. But, since the actress is pregnant, so she won’t be able to work for a year now. Pertaining to this fact, the director has decided to star cast some other actress in the role which he scripted for her.
The director has decided to make a comedy film, with Rishi Kapoor in the role of a father and his niece and actress Kareena in his daughter’s role.
He further adds, “I did want to make my film with Kajol next. But she won't be doing any film for a year-and-a-half. So I'm making a family comedy. I've completed this other script. Rishi Kapoor plays father to a much younger girl. I'll make this family comedy before my film with Kajol.”
He is also planning to make a film with his best buddy Shahid Kapoor, the two are close to each other since the time of the movie ‘Vivaah’.
Siddharth adds further, “I was the Associate Director of 'Vivah'. Shahid and I have been close since then. Now we're even closer. I really value his judgement. He watched it ('We Are Family') along with Sooraj Barjatya and Raju Hirani. Shahid absolutely loved my film.”
Karan Johar is also very happy with the director and he has allowed him to make a film with Shahid. But, a conscious Siddharth says, "I don't want to commit myself to casting Shahid until Karan Johar reads my script. But I know one thing, I'll present Shahid like no one else."
