Sidharth Malhotra is all set to bring the power-packed war-drama film Shershaah as a lead-up to the Independence Day weekend. An ultimate tribute to Captain Vikram Batra (PVC) who showed unflinching courage and valour during the Kargil War in 1999.
Lead actor Sidharth Malhotra who essays the role of 'Shershaah' Captain Vikram Batra (PVC) shared, "It was a very good feeling that Shershaah could be shot on that land itself. We were shooting at the place two years back so we are still very attached to the place and it was an apt place to show our audience what kind of battle was fought by our army men. We faced a lot of difficulty in doing a pretend fight so I have full respect for our force who actually fought for our safety with their life at stake. I wonder how much difficulty they had to go through while doing so."
