Saw Rang de Basanti last week and it was brilliant.. before i go off topic let me mention about our tamil actors in this Bollywood film.

Siddarth (Boys fame)
Brilliant acting , improved his acting..looks more matured than in previous films such as Boys.
thank god they didn't give this role to hrithik roshan.

R. Madhavan (alaipayuthey and etc)
His special guest appearance made a distingushing mark on the storyline. Crying or Very sad

!

All i can say is watch that film!

Bollywood is buzzing for Siddharth after "Rang De Basanti"

HOT PROPERTY Siddharth makes the right moves

Karan Singhania, oops, Siddharth, has arrived. Critics call him the surprise package of Rang De Basanti (RDB) but Siddharth remains firmly grounded. To think that acting happened to this MBA grad, who started off as an assistant director to Mani Ratnam, by accident, is a surprise.

RDB might have made him hot property, but Siddharth considers his bravura performance in the Telugu film Nuvvastanante Nenodantana (NN) as the turning point. "NN convinced me that I could be an actor," says Siddharth. Incidentally, Rakeysh Mehra approached Siddharth even before NN released. "RDB was in the making for three years; I joined the crew only two weeks before the shoot. My part, Karan Singhania, was previously offered to a number of leading actors. Rakeysh had run out of choices when he approached me. But well, it's worked fine for me," he shrugs. Siddharth, too, didn't accept the film initially. "I had just established myself in Telugu and didn't want to start from a scratch elsewhere. But when I saw the script, I agreed."

Today, he's soaking in the adulation and is happy with his decision. "In the time that I spent working on RDB, I could have done some run of the mill Telugu and Tamil films. But honestly, I'd rather sit at home than do a bad movie. For instance, I wasn't happy with Boys. I took some time off and waited for good offers."

Siddharth admits that films like RDB are not made too often, but refuses to blame scriptwriters and filmmakers for lack of quality films. "In the film, Rakeysh tells you that if you aren't happy with politics or administration, get into it and cleanse the system yourself. This applies to cinema as well. If you feel there aren't good scripts, write one yourself." Bollywood offers are pouring in but Siddharth remains focused on Telugu movies. In the pipeline are two ventures - one for Dil Raju and another for M S Raju. "I am not insecure that I'm not part of Hindi films. I am Siddharth, irrespective of the language of my film," he says firmly.

if u see aamir,he comes just in a role not typical hero, all guys have equal role

I know...right... roja...the problem is that due to their upbringing in NI, guys like Madhavan, Shaam, and Siddarth are more related to hindi...madhavan is the only one who seems to be riding both waves

lets hope that siddarth can do more films both in hindi and tamil..

in that article, did u see how he was like "i didn't like boys"

Anyway, I don't feel Siddarth is suited for tamil, I don't know, he doesn't even seem like a hero...still seems like a teen bopper guy

Madhavan and Shaam are suitable...esp Maddy They have that tamil hero look to them despite their lack of facial hair (which everyone is lacking nowadays for god knows why )
