We are talking about none other than Rang De Basanti fame actor Siddharth who became the victim of the same when his name was featured in the list of dead South Indian actors. He calls a spade a spade irrespective of whosoever is in power.
The core values of the movie - rebellion and friendship, however, did also deal with a complex love story. The Rang De Basanti star is not someone who hesitates from telling the truth. Justifying its tagline "A generation awakens" the movie ignited a fire in the minds of the audience, thanks to the powerful dialogues that pierced through their hearts, sometimes pushing them into introspection, and constantly giving them reality checks.
It spoke about the aspirations and restlessness average middle-class Indians have about the country but did bring to the forefront the innate irresponsibility of the citizens. The rock-solid script presented two time frames - India and Indians of the now and the fire in the minds of young revolutionists of the pre-independent India - seamlessly switching from one to another. Laced with enough patriotism, the movie did not shy away from criticising the authorities. Rang De Basanti resonated with the masses, regardless of their political inclination and age. Siddharth's movies like Chashme Baddoor, Boys, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, Jigarthanda and. The actor has worked in films across several languages like Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.
