After showing a lot of promise at the start of his career, Sidharth Malhotra has fallen out of favor.
The box office failure of his last four releases, 'Aiyaary', 'Ittefaq', 'A Gentleman', 'Baar Baar Dekho', has hurt him bad.
In his quest for a true blue hit, Sidharth has now signed two new projects - Kargil war hero Vikram Batra biopic and 'Shotgun Shaadi'.
