Whispers of Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt’s alleged break-up refuse to die down. Although the actor has slammed the rumours earlier, industry sources claim that he is still smarting from the split. We hear Sid has flown to Miami, the shoot location for his next, much in advance since he wanted some me-time.

“Sidharth will start shooting for the Bang Bang sequel with Jacqueline Fernandez in Miami from June 10. However, he flew out of Mumbai on June 3, much before the shoot begins. That’s because he wanted to clear his head before starting work on a fresh project,” says a source.

Apparently, Sidharth is holidaying alone in the south Florida city. “ He wanted a break from all the break-up talk and spend time in a place far from the maddening media glare. Sidharth has to perform action stunts in the film, but since he has already prepped up for it under the guidance of his Brothers co-star Akshay Kumar, speculations that he is in Miami for a workshop can be laid to rest,” adds the source.

The film’s spokesperson remained unavailable to comment on the actor’s early arrival at the shoot location. Sidharth, too, didn’t reply to our text message.
