It is not always a boon to be well versed with the technical aspects of filmmaking. And too much of planning might go against you. Siddharth has realised this hard truth a little too late. After the super duper success of Nuvvostanante Nenoddantaana in Tollywood, and Nuvvostanante Nenoddantaana in Bollywood, he was flooded with offers. Some of the big banners queued up in front of his house for his dates. But, Siddharth, who knew the nuances of filmmaking, was not to yield to any one of them. Except M S Raju, who he proclaims is his godfather. He was so choosy about the kind of films he wanted to do that when Davi Dhawan, the showman of Bollywood, wanted to make a film with him, Siddharth a la Aamir Khan, was not happy with the one-line story narrated by Dhawan. So, he told Dhawan to come back with the full script of the film. Dhawan was shell-shocked with Siddharth's attitude that it took a couple of days for him to come back to his senses. Dhawan, as you know, is known for tickling the funny bone of the Hindi audiences, and many heroes and heroines wait for his call to act in his films. What more, he is never known to have given anyone, including Amitabh Bachchan, the full script of his films. Siddharth has not only lost an opportunity to make it big in Bollywood, but with his latest films turning turtle at the box-office, doesn't have many filmmakers in Tollywood either who are eager to cast him in their films. Tamil, anyway, is ruled out, as he has been concentrating on Telugu cinema for sometime now. And, therefore, Siddharth is a forgotten chapter there. It takes some real guts, Siddharth, to burn your boats when you have set sail on a long journey.
