In a film that boasted of names such as John Abraham, Anil Kapoor and Manoj Bajpayee, there was one actor who despite having hardly seven to eight scenes, managed to hold his own in Shootout at Wadala. It might be newcomer Siddhant Kapoor’s lineage -- he has Shakti Kapoor for his father and Padmini and Tejwasini Kolhapure as his aunts after all -- but it was also his determination to make it in Bollywood. He has assisted director Priyadarshan on four films. And now, he’s geared up for his next release Ugly, a comedy, Saxxx Ki Dukaan and another film where he’s playing the lead, but isn’t ready to divulge more details.
