Siddhant Chaturvedi, the talented actor who gained recognition with his role in Gully Boy, is celebrating his 30th birthday yesterday, on 29th April. He began his acting career with web series and has now become one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood. The actor has already done six films, with two more in the pipeline.
According to some sources, Siddhant was the first choice for the negative role of Jim in Pathan. Being a part of Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films before, Siddhant had impressed the makers of Pathan with his acting skills and physical fitness. They believed that he would fit the role of the villain and look perfect in the fight scenes with Shah Rukh Khan.
It is said that Siddhant was offered the role of Jim but he had other plans. Siddhant, who was keen on making a name for himself as a hero, declined the offer. He believed that playing a negative role at the beginning of his career was not the right move. Siddhant turned down the offer after giving it a lot of thought.
After Siddhant’s refusal, the role of Jim went to John Abraham, who did a commendable job and received widespread praise for his performance. Pathan, which released on January 25, 2023, has turned out to be one of the biggest hits of Hindi cinema.
Siddhant’s decision to refuse the offer to play the negative role of Jim in Pathan could have been a tough one. But it shows his conviction and belief in himself. Siddhant wanted to be known as a hero in Bollywood and did not want to compromise his career aspirations by playing a negative character. His refusal shows that he is clear about his goals and is willing to wait for the right opportunities to come his way.
