Director Chandan Arora said to Mid-Day, “Siddharth has become an expert in carom. By the time we hit floors in December, he will be able to beat anyone in the game. He has meant Surya Kant many times,” confirms Arora.

Siddhartha has firmly turned down many offers that many actors wouldn’t dream of turning down such as Rakesh Mehra’s Dilli 6 and David Dhawan’s Hook Ya Crook by UTV films.
The movie is titled “Striker” and the film’s protagonist is based on real life player Surya Kant from the slums of Malavani. Siddharth who is originally based in the south has been spending a lot of time in Malavani getting a feel for the place to enable him to shape in the form of real life Surya Kant.
