Sidharth Malhotra On Starring in Patriotic Films Back to Back: 'Nothing Looks Better Than Uniform' – News18
Sidharth Malhotra in Yodha
Sidharth Malhotra opened up about working in several patriotic films lately.
Sidharth Malhotra was long known as one of Bollywood’s favourite chocolate boy. Having done films like Hasee Toh Phasee, Kapoor and Sons, and Baar Baar Dekho, he was the ultimate lover boy on screen. However, in the recent years, he has been doing a number of patriotic films. These include Shershaah (2021), Mission Majnu (2023), Indian Police Force (2024) and now, Yodha (2024). When asked about starring in patriotic-themed films one after the other, Sid confessed it wasn’t a conscious move.
“I think it just happened by chance (signing back to back patriotic films). I maybe drawn a little more to the uniform, nothing looks better on a man than uniform regardless of any form of service in the country. This is a fictious uniform so we’ve done the army, we’ve done the police, I have created my own Yodha unit so that I can wear another version of a uniform here,” Sidharth said at the Yodha press conference in New Delhi on Monday.
Although the theme is patriotism, Sid clarified that he has not fully departed from the idea of being a romantic lead. “That being said, Yodha does have a hint of love story, as you can see in the trailer. It is not such a dry character but it is not a complete love story but we are right here, promoting a Dharma Productions film so maybe you should ask Mr Karan Johar when is he making his next romantic film for me to do,” he said.
Yodha is set in the skies. The trailer revealed that the film focuses on a flight being highjacked. Disha Patani plays an airhostess in the movie while Sidharth leads the rescue operation. Raashii Khanna plays his love interest. Yodha marks the trio’s first film with each other and is set to release on March 15.
