Actor Nikhil Siddhartha plans to take a short break to pursue a film course in the US after the release of forthcoming Telugu romantic-comedy Surya Vs Surya.
“I’m eagerly looking forward to the release of Surya Vs Surya. Although I’m listening to scripts, I haven’t signed any other project yet as I have planned to take a short break of two months for doing a film course at New York Film Institute,” Siddhartha said.
Siddhartha, who had to gain weight for his last release Karthikeya, had to shed some kilos for this film.
“I play a 19-year-old college student. I had to look the age of my character. So I went on a strict diet and lost about 10kg,” he said.
In the film, Siddhartha plays a character suffering from Porphyria — a rare disorder that stops production of haemoglobin and hence prevents sufferers from going out in the sun.
Directed by Karthik Gattamneni, Surya Vs Surya also features Tridha Chaudhary, Tanikella Bharani, Rao Ramesh and Madhoo.
