Sidharth Malhotra has bagged some interesting projects for the year but now it seems that the actor is backing out from one of them. Reportedly, it has been learned that Sidharth, who was supposed to star in Murad Khetani and Bhushan Kumar's Thadam remake has opted himself out of the film. The remake was announced last year and Mrunal Thakur was roped in to play the female lead.

As per the reports, Sidharth backed out due to some script issues as he was not satisfied with the writing although earlier he was excited about the remake. The Hindi dubbed version of the original film is already available on Youtube and Sidharth wanted something different to keep on the suspense. The actor was unable to be at peace with what came as the final script and chose to quit.  

Vardhan Ketker, who assisted in some popular films like Mubarakan, Brothers, and Kapoor & Sons was said to make his directorial debut with the Thadam remake where Sidharth was supposed to play a double role of a businessman and a small town thief. The shooting of the film was planned for May with the release in November 2020.

Talking about Sidharth's other films, Sidharth recently announced the spy thriller titled Mission Majnu where he will be seen playing a RAW agent and Rashmika Mandanna has been locked in to play the lead actress. Well, not only this, but the actor will also be seen in Shershaah, a biographical war action film directed by Vishnuvardhan. The film is based on the life journey of Param Vir Chakra awardee and army captain Vikram Batra.
