Biography:
He was born in Tamil Nadu and was educated all over India (his first two schools were elite boarding schools) and then attended the prestigious Kirori Mal College where he graduated with honours in commerce. It was here where his passion for acting began as he was part of the theatre group at college called The Players but it would seem life had other plans for him at this point.He was going to outdo himself academically and go on to do his MBA (from the SP Jain Institute of Management) where he would be once again successful and awarded a CNBC Manager of the Year.
But life finally took a turn for the even better (for the girls who swoon over him) when his brother and cinematographer PC Sreeram (two people who have inspired, mentored and supported him relentlessly) who helped him land the prestigious assignment - a chance to assist the legendary Mani Ratnam in the film Kannathil Muthamittal.
He was quoted to have said "I met Mani Ratnam for an interview and landed my first job in cinema. I am proud to be associated with a film as special as Kannathil Muthamittal. I saw and learnt the science of filmmaking from very close quarters". He also went onto work as a cinematographer but under a pseudonym and it is very hard to find those films (lets hope his popularity sky rockets and Indian journalists acquire enough conviction to actually research and investigate his work!).
It was during this assignment that writer Sujatha saw him and recommended him for the casting of the films Boys.
Having established himself in the art of film-making, his patron, Mani Ratnam approached him to do a Tamil film, Kannathil Muthamittal, though this was not his debut film as an actor - it was a Tamil film called Boys. A film about a group of *shock* boys who venture into the music industry as a band. It's opening was phenomenal - the biggest in 2003, however as critics panned the dialogues (so-called explicit references), the film dwindled in success. However musically it was an astounding success and once dubbed in Telugu and released in Andra Pradesh, the film became a hit and recovered all of its losses.
After this success, Siddh relocated to Hyderabad (from Chennai) to focus on Telugu films, where he worked for the amazing Prabhu Deva in a film called 'Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana', in 2005 which to date is Siddh's biggest hit! In 2005, Siddh also ventured into the writing forum as well as singing forum as he wrote the screenplay for his Telugu film Chukkallo Chandrudu directed by Siva Kumar and sang as a playback singer.
This was also the year that Siddh left his mark on the Hindi film industry - he was part of a phenomenal ensemble cast in the critically acclaimed and box office smash Rang De Basanti. The film was sent as an Oscar's bid as well. This was followed by the successful Bommarillu and Aata in Telugu. Finally the world was awakening to Siddh. He has 2 Hindi films and 1 telugu film in the making - an achievement for any newcomer into Bollywood but an even greater achievement for someone who is from the South. It is a rare feat for someone from those industries as Bollywood as very tightly bound in loyalties and cliques. Another testimony to the powerhouse that is Siddh.
