Sidharth Malhotra: Why ‘Shershaah’ matters
The Hindu
The Bollywood actor talks about his upcoming war drama, building a real-life character for the screen, and shooting in Kargil
It’s been 22 years since Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra was killed in action, fighting for his nation, but ultimately inspiring the Indian army to victory against the Pakistani soldiers and becoming a household name across the country. After the war, Batra, who was just 24 when he succumbed to enemy fire, was posthumously honoured with the Param Vir Chakra. Now, a tribute to his legacy comes with the war drama Shershaah, that stars Bollywood hotshot Sidharth Malhotra as Vikram Batra, as well as his twin, Vishal Batra. .More Related News
