Siddharth reacts to quitting Twitter

Kollywood actor Siddharth is gearing up for the release of his Tamil film Takkar. The actor has been interacting with various platforms to promote his film. Now, he opened up about why he quit Twitter in early 2022 after he found no support from other actors.

He told India Today, “Activist is such a funny word but I have always spoken the truth as that is who I am. As an actor, I have been doing it for all these years. But I didn’t have any of my compatriots, or colleagues for company. Nobody ever asked them why they weren’t speaking and why I was the only one speaking. Then I said hold on, why am I the only one speaking? I can’t be the only one rallying against the evils in the world, I’m not a superhero. Whether standing in solidarity or getting into trouble, I was doing both. I wasn’t enjoying this suffering and there were filmmakers who had invested so many crores on me and I had to prioritise that.”

On the work front, Siddharth’s Takkar is set to release in cinemas this Friday. The film is directed by Karthik G Krish. It also stars Divyansha Kaushik and Yogi Babu among others. He also has Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 in the pipeline. The Shankar directorial project marks Siddharth’s reunion with the filmmaker after almost two decades.
