Turning 36 couldn’t have been more special for Sidharth Malhotra. With big-budget films such as Thank God, for which he’s set to begin shooting, and Mission Majnu in his kitty, Shershaah waiting for a release, professionally he’s placed in a great zone. He is expecting all positive things from 2021 after an exhausting 2020. Excerpts from an interview with the actor: This year, I have got my parents in town. So, I think something intimate, maybe, nothing major planned. I missed family time last year so I am thanking God that I will get to spend time with them. I am very excited. I have a film which is ready, Shershaah, and Mission Majnu as well as Thank God in the pipeline, then another few projects. I am very happy that I came across these amazing scripts and directors. I am really looking forward to 2021 after the not-so-comfortable 2020. So yes, I am super excited about different genres, different films and I am here to entertain people with different roles. Any special plans in mind for your birthday today? For people to be able to watch Shershaah. It’s an amazing life story of this real-life hero, which I have been working on for many, many years. It has had a very long journey right from different directors, different producers and finally we have this film. I would really love for as many people as possible to see it, and I want that they see it in a safe manner, in the most convenient and the most accessible way possible. This year looks like a very busy, very creative one for me. After sitting in 2020, I got the opportunity to read so many scripts and meet so many people. I have selected the stories that I want to be a part of. I think 2021 will be all about work and doing different stories and churning out stuff in different genres and entertaining people. I am more driven than ever in my career to entertain people. So that’s what I am looking out for in 2021 and I wish we can all get over this pandemic, people are healthier, people are sorted. I wish we find a cure, which we have, whether it’s the vaccine or some other precautions. I wish for a healthy 2021 as well. What sort of a year is 2021 looking for you, after a tough 2020? There are a host of projects in the offing. What’s the feeling like? What’s on your birthday wish list?
