== Career ==

He is best known for directing the [[action thriller film|action thriller]] films: ''[[Bang Bang!]]'' (2014), ''[[War (2019 film)|War]]'' (2019), and ''[[Pathaan (film)|Pathaan]]'' (2023); which became the highest grossing film of [[Hindi cinema]].


===Initial days (2001–2010)===
He has also scripted and directed [[Romantic comedy|romantic comedy]] films, including ''[[Salaam Namaste]]'' (2005), ''[[Ta Ra Rum Pum]]'' (2007), ''[[Bachna Ae Haseeno]]'' (2008), and ''[[Anjaana Anjaani]]'' (2010).
 
After assisting [[Rahul Rawail]] on his 2001 directorial ''[[Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi]]'', Anand co-wrote the 2004 hit ''[[Hum Tum]]'' where he also worked as executive producer and associate director.
 
His first directorial was the 2005 romantic comedy ''[[Salaam Namaste]]'' featuring [[Saif Ali Khan]] & [[Preity Zinta]], that was the year's biggest hit internationally. Anand's next two ventures ''[[Ta Ra Rum Pum]]'' and ''[[Bachna Ae Haseeno]]'' were also commercially successful. These three films were part of his contract with [[Yash Raj Films]].
 
This was followed by his first directorial produced by [[Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment]], the [[Ranbir Kapoor]] and [[Priyanka Chopra]] 2010
starrer ''[[Anjaana Anjaani]]'' which was an average grosser.<ref>{{cite web|title=Crook Opens Below The Mark|url=http://boxofficeindia.com/boxdetail.php?page=shownews&articleid=2099&nCat=box_office_report|access-date=11 October 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314010154/http://www.boxofficeindia.com/boxdetail.php?page=shownews&articleid=2099&nCat=box_office_report|archive-date=14 March 2012}}</ref>
 
===Comeback and establishment (2014–present)===
 
Anand came back to direction in 2014 after a gap of 4 years with [[Hrithik Roshan]] and [[Katrina Kaif]] starrer ''[[Bang Bang!]]'', an official adaptation of a Hollywood film ''[[Knight and Day]]'', that was highly successful at the box office and became Anand's first film to enter [[100 Crore Club]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/hrithik-roshan-vs-tiger-shroff-in-yash-raj-films-next-actioner-4863599/|title=Hrithik Roshan vs Tiger Shroff in Yash Raj Films' next actioner|date=27 September 2017}}</ref>
 
In 2017, Anand announced that he will direct and co-produce (with Yash Raj Films) the remakes of the five films of [[Sylvester Stallone]]'s Hollywood film franchise ''[[Rambo (film series)|Rambo]]'', that will star [[Tiger Shroff]] but it was getting delayed again & again due to major multiple reasons. And after three years, in 2020, he stepped down from direction whose command was finally given to director Rohit Dhawan, who is also his friend, but still he is co-producer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2017/05/exclusive-first-look-rambo-poster-indian-remake-tiger-shroff-bollywood-cannes-1201829185/|title=First Look at 'Rambo' Poster: Indian Remake Coming in 2018|first1=Graham|last1=Winfrey|date=20 May 2017}}</ref>
 
First reason for delaying ''Rambo'' remake was Anand's fifth film with Yash Raj Films, the 2019 action thriller ''[[War (2019 film)|War]]'' starring Roshan and Shroff, which banged at the box office and surpassed many records upon its release, entering the [[100 Crore Club|300 Crore Club]] and establishing Anand as a major film director.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/tiger-shroff-puts-sylvester-stallone-on-hold-for-hrithik-roshan/18648171|title=Tiger Shroff puts Sylvester Stallone on hold for Hrithik Roshan|date=12 October 2017|website=mid-day}}</ref>
 
Since November 2020, Anand is the director for his currently shot film ''Pathan'', produced again by YRF and starring [[Shah Rukh Khan]], [[Deepika Padukone]] and [[John Abraham]] as prominent characters.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latestly.com/entertainment/bollywood/shah-rukh-khan-to-announce-his-next-movie-with-war-director-siddharth-anand-on-yash-raj-films-50th-anniversary-1476161.html|title=Shah Rukh Khan to Announce His Next Movie with War Director Siddharth Anand on Yash Raj Films' 50th Anniversary? &#124; 🎥 LatestLY|website=LatestLY}}</ref> Once he wraps up ''Pathan'', he will begin work on ''FIGHTER''.
In January 2021, Siddharth Anand started his own production house named ''MARFLIX'', a production house dedicated to action film making in India.
On January 10, 2021 on Hrithik Roshan's Birthday, [[Hrithik Roshan]] and [[Deepika Padukone]] announced that they will be working in Siddharth Anand's directorial ''FIGHTER'' under his newly started production house named ''MARFLIX'' also his and his wife Mamta's first outing as a producer, which is to be released on Sept 30, 2022.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/hrithik-roshan-and-deepika-padukone-to-star-in-siddharth-anand-fighter-7140543.html|title=Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone to star in Siddharth Anand's Fighter|website=indianexpress}}</ref> Then Anand will begin to work on the sequel of ''[[War (2019 film)|War]]'' titled ''War 2'' in which he will again reunite with Roshan.
