Siddhartha to reprise Hrithik's role in 'Lakshya'

Siddhartha, the loverboy of Tollywood is going for an image makeover. He will play an action hero in the forthcoming film by Ravi Babu. The storyline is similar to Hrithik Roshan superhit 'Lakshya'.

Siddhartha plays an irresponsible, aimless young man who joins the Army on compulsion from his father. What follows forms the crux of the story. Siddharth has already hit the gym to sculpt a six-pack to suit his character and has hired Ameer Khan’s personal physical trainer as his coach, it is heard.

Sunkara Madhumurali and Ravibabu produce the film with a whopping budget of Rs 8 crore, say sources.

Siddhartha has acted in several youthful movies like 'Bommarillu' and 'Koncham Ishtam Koncham Kashtam'.
