Trailer of film SHERSHAAH |
Trailer of Bollywood`s upcoming war biopic, SHERSHAAH, was released on the eve of Kargil Vijay Diwas. The much-awaited film, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani. `Shershaah` tells the story of Kargil War martyr Captain Vikram Batra. He was code-named Shershaah and fought till his last breath. His fight and sacrifice is seen to have contributed immensely to India finally winning the Kargil War in 1999. The trailer was launched on Twitter by superstar Akshay Kumar, who wrote, `What tribute can a reel hero give to a real hero. Except that your sacrifice inspired us for life, Param Vir Chakra Awardee Captain Vikram Batra! Honoured to share my birthday with you. Sharing the trailer of #Shershaah,the story of your heroic sacrifice.` Siddharth said `Playing a man in uniform always instills a sense of pride but portraying a legendary war hero like Vikram Batra was a huge responsibility to shoulder on and perform. The role called for a lot of physical and even more mental preparation to get into his shoes and bring to life the real life story of a man whose courage and grit stood unmatched. I have tried my best to stay true to his persona and valour and I am thankful to the Batra family for trusting me. Shershaah, as the film is very close to my heart, and it is only fitting that we launch the movie`s trailer at the Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations. It is an absolute honour to be here among the brave hearts of the Indian Army and their families.` The launch event was attended by Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Y K Joshi, along with the film`s team including Siddharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani, Director Vishuvaradhan, producer Apoorva Mehta and Vijay Subramaniam, Director and head of content, Amazon Prime Video. SHERSHAAH is jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Kaash Entertainment. It will premiere on Amazon Prime ahead of the Independence Day weekend on 12th August.
