Sidhartha Mallya gets somethin’ to‘Tom’-tom about

It was here that you had first heard of entrepreneur Sidhartha Mallya heading for Hollywood, when he visited Los Angeles (LA).

And it seems now that he is already making quite a buzz there. Recently, he caught the eye of Los Angeles-based celebrity photographer Collin Stark, who compared his looks to none other than popular Holly actor Tom Cruise. 

It all happened when Mallya was approached by Stark for an exclusive photo shoot. “Sid was in LA and was hanging out at a popular café with a group of his friends. Colin Stark too was there at the same time. He approached Sid and expressed his interest to do a photo shoot with him. Sid at first was caught off guard, as Stark is considered to be one of LA’s reputed photographers, boasting of a clientele that includes Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Tom Cruise. Sid then relented and within the next week, they shot in the studio as well as on the streets of LA. But the best compliment came when Stark compared his looks to that of Tom Cruise during his Top Gun days!” informs a source close to the scion. 

Lately, Mallya has been travelling across US, UK and Europe to explore business opportunities within the international fashion, luxury, media and entertainment space. But it looks like things are already looking up for him. The source further adds, “Sid is absolutely delighted with the whole experience. He has already got so many compliments from people who have seen the pictures from the photo shoot. He is absolutely excited by the entire outcome.” The pictures show Mallya both in casual as well as formal get up.
