Sidharth Malhotra is back in action with "Mitti", a heavy-duty drama-laced action film by Balwinder Singh Janjua. Set against the surrealistic backdrop of Uttarakhand, it brings out themes of guilt, redemption, and love with one's homeland. The story revolves around fighting for his family and homeland—ancestral property—against all looming threats while coming to terms with his past mistakes. It's "a story of guilt, of living with the baggage of guilt," according to Janjua. "It is the story of saving your home and your zameen, your mitti. It is about family and relationships."
"Mitti" is going to be a big turn in Sidharth Malhotra's career, where the actor will come out of his comfort zone in uniformed roles and perform in a different genre, making a statement about his versatility. This comes after he turned in some sterling performances in 'Shershaah', 'Indian Police Force', and 'Yodha'. The project reveals Sidharth's urge to take up different and challenging roles, promising audiences a taut tale of personal and family struggles set amidst the majestic but stormy land of Uttarakhand.
