Vishal Batra, brother of Captain Vikram Batra, shared, “It was our dream to make a film on Vikram and it took birth in 2015. Shabbir Boxwala from Kaash Entertainment (co-producer, Shershaah) was the first person to approach us to make the film."
“That was the happiest day of my life. They are part of the family. The support of Indian Army and his family, was very essential and unconditional,” the producer of the film shared.
Siddharth Malhotra said at the launch, "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 whether it’s personal or professional. Shershaah has been an experience bigger than a film. This story is about true, real life heroes like you. And I consider myself lucky that I got to play him."
At the event, Kiara shared, "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".
