His screen appearance in the video gained him a 30-second cameo role in the film Joggers' Park (2003).[2] Actor Victor Banerjee was impressed by his acting skills and offered him to play lead role in the film Ho Sakta Hai (2006) directed by Wilson Louis.[lower-alpha 2] Critic Taran Adarsh praised Siddiqui's performance in the film.[7] Siddiqui played other roles in films such as Apaharan (2005), The Film (2005), Ghajini (2008) and Riwayat (2012) being his last film appearance.
