Sidharth Malhotra is in headlines these days regarding his upcoming biopic on Captain Vikram Batra. The trailer of the film released recently to positive response and the film is sure to hit the mark. Sidharth considers himself extremely fortunate that he was chosen by the makers to play the iconic and inspirational character of the late soldier.

During the trailer launch event on Sunday in Drass, Sidharth said, "This day is extremely emotional for me. We started this journey five years ago with Vishal Batra ji. This is my first film where I have portrayed the life of a real-life hero. 'Shershaah' has been an experience bigger than a film. I would like to thank the Indian Army... This story is about true, real-life heroes like you. And I consider myself lucky that I got to play him."

Kiara Advani plays Captain Batra's love interest in the film she is also extremely proud of the film. She said, "Some films change you professionally but there are some that change you personally. Shershaah is that film for me. Thank you to the Batra family, Dimple and everyone who made this possible for us. I will forever be grateful. We can't wait to share this with the world."
