In the past year, actor Siddharth Menon has surprised his fans with his work across mediums. His film, Loev (2015), was released on online streaming platforms, and he followed that with a stint as a celebrity radio jockey. However, the actor feels the best part of the year was him being selected for the Broadway musical, Aladdin. The Rajwade & Sons (2015) actor says, “Last December onwards, I was completely engrossed with Aladdin, and it continues this year, too. It has been a year full of theatre for me.”
The actor, one of the founding members of Natak Company — a Pune-based theatre group, feels that working in the musical has been a very insightful experience for him as an actor. He says, “The entire journey has been so enriching and rewarding for me as an actor. I am getting to do things beyond my imagination. I’m working with an incredible team who become more like your family, especially when you spend so much time together. But most importantly, I am getting to play the role of Aladdin, which has been a dream come true.”
The musical kicked off in Mumbai and will soon be performed in Hyderabad and Delhi as well. “I really waited for something like Aladdin in my life. I may sound philosophical, but I truly feel that believing in what you want and working hard go hand-in-hand. I believe that if you call for things, they will happen,” Siddharth says.
The actor is keen on shooting for a film by the end of the year.“I will be free in the last few months of the year, so I may take up a film or something in the digital space,” he adds.
