Sidharth Malhotra-Kiara Advani starrer ‘Shershaah’ is slated to release on 12th August on Amazon Prime Video.
Directed by Vishnu Vardhan, this Vikram Batra biopic is jointly produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Kaash Entertainment.
5 Reasons Why ‘Shershaah’ Is Going To Be A Must-Watch!
1) Inspiring, Real-Life Story Of Kargil War Hero Vikram Batra
Shershaah movie is based on the glorious sacrifice and valour of Captain Vikram Batra, who was martyred during the 1999 Kargil War with Pakistan. Codenamed ‘Shershaah’, Batra had shown exceptional courage while successfully leading the tough mountain warfare mission – ‘Operation Vijay’.
The fierce soldier had immortalized ‘Yeh Dil Maange More!’ as his success signal and was posthumously awarded the prestigious Param Vir Chakra!

2) Sidharth In Army Role!
As per a Peeping Moon report, Sidharth had met Vikram Batra’s brother Vishal sometime back and was highly inspired by the soldier’s bravery. Harbouring the vision of bringing the story to life, Sidharth had taken the project to Dharma Productions – who came on board to make it a reality!
Fans have been raving about seeing Sid in an army role; the similarity between Capt. Vikram Batra and Sidharth Malhotra is unreal! Shershaah team has taken pains to remain as authentic as possible – from meeting the family before filming as prep to shooting at real locations where the real Vikram Batra lived through.
