Newcomer
Siddhanth
Kapoor,
son
of
actor
Shakti
Kapoor,
says
that
he
is
fascinated
towards
negative
characters.
"I
am
fascinated
towards
grey
and
negative
characters.
I
like
bad
guys.
I
feel
they
are
more
challenging.
These
characters
do
get
highlighted
and
catches
one's
attention," Siddhanth
told
PTI.
Siddhanth
had
earlier
hit
the
headlines
in
2008,
though
for
the
wrong
reasons,
as
he
was
held
at
a
rave
party
in
Mumbai.
Now,
he
is
back
in
news
for
his
debut
release,
Shootout
At
Wadala.
"I
don't
care
if
the
role
is
negative
or
positive.
Today
there
is
nothing
like
hero,
heroine
and
villain...
Rather
it
is
all
about
character
actors.
I
am
happy
to
be
part
of
this
film
as
I
really
liked
the
character
a
lot,"
he
said.
It
was
the
first
instalment,
Shootout
at
Lokhandwala
that
captivated
Siddhant
so
much
that
he
was
keen
on
doing
the
prequel
Shootout
at
Wadala.
"I
was
fascinated
by
characters
played
by
Vivek
Oberoi,
Tusshar
Kapoor
and
others
in
Shootout
at
Wadala
so
much
that
I
wanted
to
be
part
of
Shootout
at
Lokhandwala,"
Siddhant
said.
He
told
director
Sanjay
Gupta
about
it.
"I
told
him
I
would
love
to
do
this
film
if
he
has
any
role
for
me
in
it.
I
wanted
to
be
part
of
this
huge
film
as
I
liked
the
concept,"
he
says.
"I
don't
shy
away
from
meeting
filmmakers
for
work.
I
don't
mind
asking
for
work
and
showing
my
interest
to
work
with
the
filmmakers.
I
don't
have
an
ego
problem,"
he
added.
He
plays
the
character
of
Gyanchod,
a
sharpshooter
in
the
film.
He
is
part
of
Manya
Surve's
(John
Abraham)
gang.
"I
always
wanted
to
become
an
actor...
Coming
from
a
filmy
background,
so
films
and
acting
was
always
on
my
mind,"
he
said.
The
newcomer
also
did
a
course
in
acting
at
Lee
Strasberg
in
New
York
and
a
filmmaking
course
in
London.
After
coming
back,
he
assisted
filmmaker
Priyadarshan
for
two
years
in
films
like
Chup
Chup
Ke,
Bhagam
Bhag,
Dhol
and
Bhool
Bhulaiya.
Siddhanth
was
offered
to
do
the
remake
version
of
Satte
Pe
Satta,
but
the
film
never
took
off.
But
now
he
looks
quite
excited
about
Shootout
at
Wadala
as
it
releases
on
May
3.
His
other
upcoming
film
is
Anurag
Kashyap's
Ugly.
"Unfortunately,
I
can't
talk
about
my
role.
The
film
is
going
to
Cannes
and
I
am
quite
excited
about
it.
It
is
like
a
dream,
did
not
imagine
my
second
film
will
go
to
Cannes,"
he
said.
