The stakes are running high for Sidharth, as his next film, Marjaavaan, is slated to release next month. Malhotra will be seen alongside his rumoured girlfriend Tara Sutaria. Riteish Deshmukh will also be seen in the movie but he will play the role of a dwarf antagonist in the film. The film is helmed by Milap Zaveri, and he has full faith in Sidharth and the success of the film.

In an interview, when being asked about Sidharth's career downfall, Milap was quick to defend him by saying that every hit actor has a phase where their movies do not work. He also drew a comparison against Shahid Kapoor's career and Sidharth's career and stated that Ek Villain was loved by the audiences and he is also hoping that Marjaavaan will also garner the same amount of acclaim both critically and commercially.
