For those unaware, Brahmastra Part One Shiva, a blockbuster released in 2022, underwent years of production before its eventual release. Siddhant was offered a role as one of the superheroes in this Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer. During an interview with The Lallantop, Siddhant Chaturvedi expressed that due to a lack of script or sufficient details, he felt uncertain about his role in Brahmastra.
Siddhant said, “Mujhe blacklist kar diya gaya casting se. Blacklist kar diya ki ye toh pagal hai ladka. Badnaam ho gaya tha main casting circuit mein ki ye select ho ke na bol deta hai. They would think ‘Hai kaun bhai tu? Arrogant hai, cocky hai'”.

The Gully Boy star added, “He said, “One month before Gully Boy, this (Brahmastra) happened. The makers of a very big film that eventually became the biggest film offered me a part. I had got it through a casting director. It was one of the characters, but it didn’t have any script or audition. They said that you do martial arts, it was an action fantasy film. Ek ashram hai, usme one of the superhero’s ka kirdar mila tha mujhe. So they said I should do it, and it’s a VFX-heavy project, and it will take 5 years to make.”
Saying that he denied the offer the actor added, “I told the casting director that I won’t be able to do it. He stood up and said, ‘Pagal hai, Dharma ke saath hai, 3 films ka contract hai.’ So I said, ‘Who will watch me if Amitabh Bachchan is there, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are there together.”
On the work front, Siddhant Chaturvedi will soon be seen in Yudhra.
