Questions have risen, with people wondering whether Netflix has made the right decision with this highly risky move.
One user on social media said, “Siddhant is a good actor, but leading a project of this magnitude? Netflix is taking a massive gamble!”
Another questioned his capabilities as he commented, “He excels as a supporting actor, but does he have the charisma of a superstar lead?”
While some have come out in his support, the majority is of the opinion that Netflix’s gamble has a high chance of failing.
With production expected to begin soon, it is only a matter of time before its true potential comes to light.
