Sidharth started training for Shershaah in April after wrapping Jabariya Jodi with Parineeti Chopra. Sources told a leading daily last month that Sidharth as well as the rest of the cast began training on army drills and are also learning the use of military weapons.
On Instagram, Sidharth had shared a picture of himself from his training sessions:

In order to prepare for his role for the Captain Vikram Batra biopic, Sidharth will be training for a month while the film will be shot in various cities including Chandigarh, Palampur, Kashmir and Ladakh, as per the report.
Shershaah will also be produced by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Productions. The release date of the film hasn’t been announced as yet.
