I am writing something for Telugu fans at present: Siddharth

Given that he first tasted financial success in

Tollywood

, with

Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana

, Siddharth has quite a following in the Telugu-speaking states. But the actor hasn’t done a straight

Telugu film

for the past six to seven years. Quiz him if he intentionally decided to focus on Tamil films during these years and he says, “I’d be lying if I say I planned all this. After Rang De Basanti, I was asked why I hadn’t moved to Bombay.,” he recalls, adding, “I was already in Hyderabad then. And I can’t live in two cities.

After that, I moved to Chennai, and I’m being asked why not be in Hyderabad as well. I want to work in different languages, but I want to be in one city only.”

So, is there any plan for a Telugu project in the near future? “I’m currently writing something for Telugu fans, and there are definitely plans to do films in Telugu. In fact, my current films are all tailor-made to work in both Tamil and Telugu,” says Siddharth, adding that his Telugu audiences are wonderful. I realise I have a beautiful audience there to whom I haven’t made a film for in some time. But if you look at the long game, all these are inconsequential,” the actor adds.

There will come one film that will change things. I started in Tamil, then went to Telugu and worked there for seven years without coming to Tamil. Then, I came to Tamil and have been doing films here for seven years without going to Andhra. I don’t know what’s going to happen next. Let’s see,” he says.
