Siddhant Karnick: My phone didn’t ring for eight months after Animal
After earning praise for Animal, Siddhant Karnick expected the film to be the breakthrough that would transform his career. Instead, he spent eight months without a single offer or enquiry. The silence prompted a major shift in his mindset, leading him to stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them. That decision resulted in international projects, including the French short The Diggers, which won him two Best Actor awards. Siddhant reflects on the reality of the industry and why he chose to take control of his career.
