Uttar Pradesh-born actor Siddhant Chaturvedi turned rapper MC Sher in ‘Gully Boy’. Siddhant hails from the Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh and before the release of his first film ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2′ as a lead hero, he is haunted by the memory of his Ballia friends and his state and he has said that I have always been this. I wished that I should be able to illuminate the name of my district all over the world and one day do something like this to show that my name will also be associated with the name of Ballia forever.’
Siddhant Chaturvedi has struggled a lot to take his place in Hindi cinema and his luck turned when he worked with Ranveer Singh in the film ‘Gully Boy’. To this, he said that for someone coming from a small town like Ballia in Uttar Pradesh, getting a break in Hindi cinema and now being the hero of a commercial big Hindi film feels like a dream come true. I never thought that I would be able to do this because I have seen talented people coming from small towns who have to work hard to attract people’s attention.
Siddhant also offers advice for those dreaming of making a career in cinema. He says that there is a lot of struggle here and like in any other field nothing is achieved here without firm preparation. He says, It is very difficult but I must admit that I learned a lot from the struggle. This struggle always kept my feet on the ground. Never let me get away from reality and also that behind every success there is a long process of hard work and hard work. My struggle has made me stronger. I am also thankful to director Zoya Akhtar for bringing me this far.
Now that Siddhant has become a name in the Hindi film industry. On doing a film for a production company like Yash Raj Films, Siddhant said, “I want to make my district Ballia proud with my work. My struggle is the struggle of all those people who live in remote small towns in the country and want to do something different with their skills. Now my only dream is that my name should be counted among the good actors of cinema and for this I am not going to back down from the constant struggle.
