Sidharth Malhotra is all geared up for his next Shershaah - the story of the Hero of Kargil, Capt. Vikram Batra (PVC). With some intense large-scale action sequences, the film was shot in extreme conditions. Keeping it authentic, major portions of Shershaah were shot at a height of approx. 14,000ft in Kargil itself.

To give justice to those action sequences, Sidharth made sure he did all the heavy hand-to-hand combat as well as weaponry scenes himself. The height also made it tough to recover from any on-set injuries due to lack of oxygen. The trailer of the film shows that the team has definitely pulled off some realistic action sequences.

Sidharth Malhotra’s and Kiara Advani’s highly anticipated film Shershaah is nearing its release date. The film will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on August 12.

The film is directed by Vishnu Varadhan and serves as his Bollywood directorial debut. Shershaah also stars Shiv Panditt, Raj Arjun, Pranay Pachauri, Himanshu Ashok Malhotra, Nikitin Dheer, Anil Charanjeett, Sahil Vaid, Shataf Figar, and Pawan Chopra in pivotal roles. The film is jointly produced by Karan Johar under his Dharma Productions banner and Kaash Entertainment. Shershaah will release on August 12 on Amazon Prime Video.
