Sarim Momin: Siddhanth Kapoor is a professional and a thorough gentleman -Exclusive

Writer-Director Sarim Momin can't believe the allegations and speculations being levelled against Siddhanth Kapoor in the drugs consumption case. Sarim, who has previously written lyrics for films like D, Agyaat, Rann, Rakta Charitra and more, has worked with Siddhanth in two unreleased movies. Speaking about Siddhanth's arrest in Bengaluru and his alleged drugs consumption charges Momin said, "Once I was discussing a character with him (which I had cast him for) and we were brainstorming about the traits. The character was supposed to be of a rock star who are stereotypically known to be 'high'."

But Momin revealed that it was Siddhanth who was concerned about the message being sent out to the audience. Momin recalled, "It was Siddhant who had said 'Let's not unnecessarily show my character as someone who does drugs. It doesn't send out a good message sir'." The young filmmaker-writer felt that Siddhanth is not the type of person to indulge in drugs use. He said, "As a director I've never experienced anything with Siddhanth that I'm reading about him today. He's the most professional man I know and a thorough gentleman."

Momin has directed two, yet unreleased films that feature Siddhanth in prominent roles. There's a movie title Khabees with Tanisha Mukherjee and Bharat Dhabolkar and another film called ASEQ with Vardhan Puri, Sonnalli Seygall and Adi Chugh.
