After NKPK, the same producers offered him work on their next film Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara . Idhaaba went on to become a huge hit and Siddharth's music was a huge factor in the success of the film. Rediff wrote "The Enge Ponaalum (Prayer Song), which has become hugely popular among youngsters, has some very hilarious lyrics.".

He went on to win the Edison Award for Best New Music Director for the movie. Siddharth also did a cameo in the film as Akhilesh. This unexpected role from him became a huge hit among the masses.

The success of the film meant that Santhanam chose him to sign him for Vallavanukku Pullum Aayudham (2014). VPA is the remake of the Telugu blockbuster Maryada Ramanna .

His tunes are unique and the score is creative for every emotion portrayed in the movie."
