Actor Siddharth is back in the Tamil cinema after a break of about three years. The actor was last seen in the 2019 film Aruvam. He will be next seen in the film Takkar, which will release on June 9. In a recent interview, the actor said that Takkar is different from the previous venture because the role is polar opposite to what he is in real life.

“He would do anything for money, and I don’t care a lot about money. His principles are different from mine. I wouldn’t do a few things even if you give me a lot of money. So, do the role was challenging,” Siddharth told India Today. Apart from Takkar, the actor also shared about his other much-awaited project, Indian 2, which has Kamal Haasan in the lead role.

The role of Siddharth in the film is still in the wraps. He said, “I’m excited to see myself in this film working again with director Shankar, who launched me in Indian cinema. The reason I did this film is not because of what happens after the release of the film, but the fact that I could work with such stalwarts. I can’t talk about the role but the film is a blessing and I am happy.”

After Trump doubles tariff, India’s strategy: Remain quiet, don’t give in, wait it out

Explained29 min ago

US President Donald Trump may have doubled the tariffs on India to 50 per cent, but New Delhi is not alarmed or unduly perturbed; rather the government seems to be prepared to wait it out for the next few weeks or more — deal with his increasing frustration by remaining calm.

It has taken an unequivocal call that Trump cannot tell India not to trade with Russia or distance itself from BRICS.
