Siddharth is full of praise for his co-star in Striker, actress Nicolette Bird. “Nicollete looks like an angel in the film,” he says, “She’d talk about Kolkata and I’d often share my experiences of shooting in Howrah. I’d want to do a Bengali film someday. I’m good with languages. If the script is good enough, I’d need 12 days to learn any language and do a movie.”
Although she is already being tipped for the top in the industry, Nicolette is keeping her feet firmly on the ground. “Imagine being all beauty and no brains,” she says, “How foolish is that? In fact, I am planning for my Masters but I don’t know how I will get the time for it.”
Kolkata-born Nicolette also recently made her Kannada debut in Shivaraj Kumar’s Hatrick Hodi Maga. “Since I have made a good beginning in Hindi films with Rock On!!, I have decided to be extremely choosy,” she explains, “Hatrick Hogi Maga is certainly a very good debut for me in Kannada.”
