Sidharth Malhotra, whose next film Ek Villain will hit the screens this Friday, has rubbished all the talks about landing plum projects in Bollywood because of his mentor and filmmaker Karan Johar.

Before becoming an actor, Sidharth worked as an assistant director to Karan for My Name Is Khan. It was Karan Johar who gave a break to Sidharth Malhotra as an actor in Student Of the Year and Karan followed it up by producing casting Sidharth in his next film Hasee Toh Phasee as well.
