MUMBAI: Savi Sidhu, once a promising actor who shared the screen with Bollywood stars like Akshay Kumar and Ayushmann Khurrana, found himself facing a harsh reality when the offers dried up, forcing him to take up a job as a security guard to make ends meet.
Having worked in notable films like 'Gulaal,' 'Patiala House,' and 'Bewakoofiyaan,' Sidhu's early career in Bollywood showed promise. However, the tides turned, and opportunities dwindled, leaving him grappling with financial difficulties.

However, the unpredictable nature of the industry took its toll, and he found himself without significant roles.
In a revealing interview with Film Companion, Sidhu opened up about his struggles and the challenging period that led him to work as a security guard. Despite having worked with Anurag Kashyap in films like 'Paanch' (although unreleased) and 'Black Friday,' the actor faced a slump in his career.
