Anil Siddhu, who has been shuttling between playing antagonists and lead roles in a couple of films now, has been looking at content-oriented subjects. His wish has come true as he gets set to associate with veteran director Sunil Kumar Desai in his next film. The actor, who made his debut as a villain in Mumtaz, has also starred as the antagonists in films like Silicon City, Padde Huli, and the yet-to-be-released Varada. His first film as hero was A++, which was directed by Upendra's assistant, Vijay Surya. He now awaits the release of Virata Parva, which is his second film as the lead.

The actor is now looking forward to working with Sunil Kumar Desai. "We had invited the director over to our new studio 'God Kiss U Creations', when he happened to browse through some of my photos and discussed a unique characterisation for me. In all likelihood, this is going to be a thriller. Details of the project, which are still in the initial stages, will be revealed by the director himself as and when he locks the script," he says.

Anil admits that cinema is his only passion and was happy to have had a stint in Kollywood too. "I got an opportunity to work in films like Kaththi, I, and Kaatru Veliyidai. I hope to associate with well-known directors in different languages in the future," he says.
