MUMBAI: Shershaah is a upcoming movie that is a biopic of Vikram Batra. We shall see Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani in the lead roles. And now, it’s a wrap for the film. Sid took to Instagram to share some photographs from their wrap-up.
'And it’s a wrap! The universe has been so kind for giving me the chance to portray the real-life hero of our Indian Army, Vikram Batra. And I couldn’t be happier to bring you his courageous life story. I want to thank each one of you for being a part of this amazing film. This 3 year-long journey has been spectacular and I feel grateful to have the best team by my side. Watch out for our first look! ????,' Sidharth wrote on Instagram.
For the uninitiated, Vikram Batra was born in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. At the time of the Kargil War, this unit received orders to move to Kargil. He defeated the enemy and gave out a triumphant war cry, 'Yeh dil maange more'. While leaving the base, his colleague lost his legs in an explosion. The war hero went back just to save him, and that’s when he was hit by the enemy’s bullet in his chest. He was martyred on the spot. He was honoured with Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest and most prestigious award for his valour during the war.
Shershaah is produced by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions and Shabbir Boxwala Production and directed by Vishnuvardhan. The film is set for a 2020 release.
