The novel coronavirus pandemic has left us in a different world to the one we started with at the beginning of 2020. Social norms at work are bound to change for the immediate future.

Siddharth: We Need To Be Careful While Restarting Shoots

Talking to actor Kiran Joneja on her chat show Insider Talk, Siddharth said, "Coming to the post-pandemic situation, we have to take baby steps and go very slow," adding, "Because in filmmaking we need a lot of crew and we have to be very careful with that, because lives can be at risk. If we don't be extra careful, we will be in a worse situation where we won't have an option even to restart."

Siddharth also opened up about his love for the movies. "I was obsessed with movies from my childhood. I used to always participate in theatre. Being from a non-industry background, it was a kind of unimaginable dream but I was always engaged in the entertainment field -- be it creative writing, acting, directing or producing," he said.

He continued, "At that time, I used to enjoy being in the production team and I used to like the fact that a producer is involved in the journey from start to end, and brings all the talent and creativity together to create magic on screen. That's how my journey started. When I finished my first year B.Com, I started my internship with UTV Productions. It was a small production house but with a big ambition."
