Sidharth Malhotra got emotional at the trailer launch of Shershaah in Drass. The film is directed by Vishnu Varadhan.

Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who will be seen playing the role of Kargil hero Vikram Batra in the upcoming film Shershaah, says he is fortunate to have been chosen to play the real-life hero on-screen. The biographical war drama, directed by noted South film director Vishnu Varadhan, narrates the life story of Captain Vikram Batra and how he led the charge of his troops during the 1999 Kargil War. He was given the highest wartime gallantry award, Param Vir Chakra, posthumously.
