Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani Interview: In Kargil with Shershaah

Shershaah starring Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani is all set to release on Amazon Prime Video on August 12. The film is based on the life of Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra. Sidharth, Kiara and director Vishnu Varadhan speak to IndiaToday.in about Shershaah, Captain Batra, and overall, the valour of the Indian Army.

It's not every day that you have the magnificent Tiger Hill as your backdrop for a celebrity interview. In the post-Covid world, it's mostly Zoom backgrounds (you can get the Tiger Hill there too, perhaps, but you know what we're talking about). So, when Team Shershaah decided to spring this very special surprise on us, we didn't think twice. India Today was at Drass in Kargil on the 22nd Kargil Vijay Diwas to see the trailer launch. But it wasn't the trailer that took our breath away. It was the knowledge that, in CDS General Bipin Rawat's words, the ground where we were celebrating a trailer launch, was possible because people like Captain Vikram Batra sacrificed their lives for us. So, we sat down with actors Sidharth Malhotra, who plays Captain Vikram Batra in the latter's biopic Shershaah, and Kiara Advani, who plays Dimple Cheema, Vikram's girlfriend; and director Vishnu Varadhan to discuss the movie, the Kargil War, Captain Batra's family, and overall, the courage and valour of the Indian Army.
