“I should start training (for mixed martial arts) in a month’s time. We would be getting a trainer for it,” he said. Sidharth is likely to be cast with actor Akshay Kumar in the film. “It is not official yet (about Akshay). But it will be interesting if he does the film,” Sidharth said.The 29-year-old actor will also be seen in another remake of a French film ‘Priceless’. It will be also be produced by Karan Johar. On the film, Sidharth says, “It is on hold as the script is not finalised yet. Director Tarun Manshukhani is working on it.”
