A source reportedly informed an entertainment portal that there is a possibility that Sidharth Malhotra might get the opportunity to step into the shoes of Allu Arjun. They mentioned that Sidharth might be in talks for being a part of the Hindi adaptation of Allu Arjun’s Telugu blockbuster, DJ (Duvvada Jagannadham). Rumours say that the Student Of The Year star was approached by the makers a few weeks before the lockdown was imposed.
But due to the widespread Coronavirus, they were not able to lock the deal. Since then, the makers and Sidharth Malhotra have constantly been in touch and when the film is all set to be remade in Hindi, it will star Sidharth Malhotra as the leading star.
The source also claimed that Sidharth himself loves the part because it's a good mix of comedy and action. Also, after doing Marjaavaan, he's looking forward to portraying such roles. Initially, there were rumours that this film was going to be shot with Nikkhil Advani and Milap Zaveri. But the maker of the film, Dil Raju did not wish to sell the rights of their film to anyone. Instead, they want to make the film themselves thus they are planning to back this project personally and co-produce it with a Mumbai based banner.
