Jabariya Jodi: Sidharth Malhotra Gets Into His Most Colourful Avatar; Feels Liberated!

‘Lagta hai bahaut hi khul kar acting kari hai’ – That’s what many seem to be observing ever since the promo of Sidharth Malhotra’s upcoming film Jabariya Jodi has been unveiled. Though the actor has done films across varied genres, somehow his characters have been quite subtle in their approach, be it a family drama like Kapoor & Sons or even an action emotional affair like Ek Villain. However going by the promo of Jabariya Jodi, this one seems to be a game changer of sorts.

“He has let himself loose with this film, it’s as simple as that,” says a filmmaker, “It is tough indeed to get into the kind of persona that is flashy enough to reach out to the masses in a big way. One wrong move and you never know how something vibrant turns out to be an overkill on screen. To strike a balance is what makes an act on screen special as it need to be convincing even if set in a commercial potboiler zone. So far, Sidharth seems to have got that right.”

This can indeed be seen from the fact that just 24 hours after the promo launch, there has been an air of positivity around what Sidharth and the team of Jabariya Jodi is bringing on screen.

“It has been a holds no bar approach taken by Sidharth in this film,” says a close associate of the actor, “So many times a characterisation is such that you can’t really afford to play to the gallery. Sidharth has predominantly done films which have an inherent classy feel to them. Moreover, his persona is such that he comes across as this Mr. Nice Guy who can never do anything wrong. Now Jabariya Jodi is a different world altogether as he is naughty and mischievous but still very loveable.”
